Hagel’s two lifts over the Rangers helped extend the streak to seven

NEW YORK — Brandon Hagel scored twice and Jonas Johansson made 11 saves as the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the New York Rangers 4-1 on Saturday to extend their winning streak to seven games.

Nicky Paul and Jake Guenzel also scored and Nikita Kucharov had three assists as the Lightning ended New York’s three-game winning streak. Tampa Bay is 7-0-0 since November 18 and has outscored opponents 30-10 in that span.

The Rangers heard boos from the Madison Square Garden crowd as they fell to 2-8-1 at home where they have been shut out five times and scored once on three other occasions. New York is 11-4-1 on the road.

Hagel scored at 10:53 of the opening period as his shot bounced off the skate of Rangers defenseman Carson Soucy. He made it 2-0 with his team-best 15th goal at 8:57 of the second when he slid his rebound past Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin.

Defensemen Darren Reddish and Kucharov assisted on both goals.

Kucharov has a nine-game point streak, including four goals and 14 assists. He leads the Lightning with 32 points. The Reddish have 11 points in their last seven games.

JT Miller ended Johansson’s shutout bid with his seventh goal at 17:31 of the second. Adam Fox and Mika Zibanejad contributed.

Paul scored at 2:02 of the third to make it 3-1. Rookie defenseman Charles-Edouard D’Austes also contributed.

Guentzel added an empty-netter at 19:41.

Fox left the game at 7:03 when he was hard checked into the boards by Hagel. Fox’s left arm appeared to absorb the impact of the blow.

Shesterkin scored 31 wickets.

The Lightning beat the Rangers 11-2 in the first. New York didn’t register its first shot on goal until the 9:29 mark.

The Lightning were missing injured defensemen Victor Hedman, Ryan McDonagh and Eric Konernick, as well as forward Braden Point, out for the fourth straight game.

Rangers: Host the Dallas Stars on Tuesday.
