NEW YORK -- The New York Rangers cant lose. The Vancouver Canucks cant win.On Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden, nothing has to give.The Rangers have won five in a row, scoring at least five goals in each victory. As was the case in many of their victories this season, the Rangers (10-3-0) won with balance Sunday, as five players scored in a 5-2 victory against the Winnipeg Jets.One of those goal-scorers was rookie Pavel Buchnevich, who scored artfully on a breakaway for his second goal of the season. The third-round pick found the going tough to start the season but is showing signs of getting comfortable, which potentially means another dangerous scorer for the NHLs top offensive team.Hes just getting more and more comfortable with everything, Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist said to the New York Daily News. Coming here from Russia, its a big change culture-wise and language and the way we play the game. So hes just getting more comfortable. Hes going to be a great player here. Fun to watch him play, too.As weird as it sounds, the Rangers didnt feel great after their latest five-goal performance. The game was tied 2-2 midway through the second period before the Rangers blitzed the Jets for three quick goals, then held on tight during the third period and didnt muster a shot on net.That is becoming normal for the Rangers -- scoring five goals, winning by three and not feeling as if they played well.We definitely have got to be careful of starting to cheat and getting away from the way we want to play, Rangers defenseman Marc Staal told the Daily News on Sunday. I thought for stretches last night and tonight we started stretching the zone a little bit and started looking for things that werent there. So as a group weve got to make sure we buckle back down, start playing the way we need to play defensively to create those opportunities in the right way.The Canucks, meanwhile, are in a tailspin that has no signs of ending.After starting 4-0-0, Vancouver has lost nine consecutive games, including a 4-2 defeat to the New York Islanders on Monday night. So not only are the Canucks playing some of the worst hockey in the NHL, but they get to play a Rangers team that has been off since Sunday.The Canucks held a brief early lead against the Islanders and were tied at 2 in the third period before the Islanders struck for two goals in less than two minutes to put the game away.First two periods, we played good hockey, Canucks goaltender Ryan Miller said. Then they get weird bounces and take the game. Its frustrating right now.The Canucks (4-8-1) are 0-8-1 in their past nine games. The last time they lost 10 in a row was from Oct. 23-Nov. 11, 1997, so it is almost the 18-year anniversary of their futility.Three of their goals, our guys go to block them and they end up in favorable situations, Miller said to the Vancouver Sun. We have to find ways to rise up when games unfold that way.The way the Rangers are playing lately, overcoming bounces and a superior opponent wont be easy. Custom Jerseys Nike .ca!

"That was kind of baffling. Pretty safe to say that was our worst game of the year," the outfielder said after the Orioles absorbed an 11-0 beating from the Houston Astros on Wednesday night. "It was embarrassing, actually. Im glad its over." Going up against a rookie who found out only hours earlier that he was going to receive his first major league start, Baltimore managed only three singles in seven innings off Brett Oberholtzer. Oberholtzer (1-0) was thrust into the starters role after Erik Bedard was scratched with a sore shoulder. Making his fourth appearance and first start in the big leagues, Oberholtzer struck out six, walked none and did not let a runner get past first base in earning his first win in the big leagues. "He threw strikes and he had a lead," Baltimores Adam Jones said. "Tip your cap to him, man." The Astros build a 9-0 advantage over four innings against Orioles starter Miguel Gonzalez (8-5) and coasted to their most lopsided win of the season. "My bullpen was great, everything was down, and I thought I was going to go out there and do pretty well," Gonzalez said. "The first inning was good, second inning I was just leaving the ball up, and it just carried on throughout the whole game. It was just a tough night for me overall." And for the Orioles. It was Baltimores worst margin of defeat this year, and the second time in three games the Orioles absorbed a shutout. Prior to that, they had been blanked three times in 105 games. Baltimore finished with seven hits, two apiece in the eighth and ninth innings. "We havent swung the bats real well as of late. Kind of collectively," manager Buck Showalter said. "You dont say thats just one of those things thats going to happen. You want to shorten it up and get bacck to what were capable of.dddddddddddd Tomorrows an opportunity to do that." The Orioles can only hope the feeling they got from this game doesnt languish. "It shows you, you just never know what youre going to get on a given night," McLouth said. "Our fans dont deserve to see that type of performance. Well clean that up. Well have to get over that one quick." Hours before the first pitch, the Astros traded right-hander Bud Norris to the Orioles for outfielder L.J. Hoes and a minor league prospect. Hoes switched from the Baltimore starting lineup to batting second for Houston and went 0 for 5. Norris, the focal point of the trade, will start the deciding game of the series Thursday night against his former teammates. In this one, Matt Dominguez homered and had a career-high four hits to help the Astros improve to 3-9 since the All-Star break. "It all started on the mound with Oberholtzer," manager Bo Porter said. "What a tremendous job. Its amazing what happens when you throw strikes and dont put people on base." Houston took control with a four-run second. After Castro hit a leadoff double, Brandon Barnes delivered an RBI double and scored on a single by Dominguez before Robbie Grossman hit a shot onto Eutaw Street beyond the right-field scoreboard. The Astros tacked on five runs in the fourth, courtesy of a botched grounder by shortstop J.J. Hardy. The two-out miscue with the bases loaded allowed a run to score, and Castro followed with his first career grand slam. Brett Wallace hit an RBI single in the sixth and Dominguez homered off Francisco Rodriguez leading off the seventh.
