NEW YORK — – Gabriel Vilardi<\/a> tied his career high with his 27th goal of the season and won the game in a shootout, captain Adam Lowry<\/a> ended his lengthy scoring drought and the Winnipeg Jets<\/a> ended their three-game losing streak by beating the New York Rangers<\/a> 3-2 on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Vilardi and Kyle Connor<\/a> scored in the shootout to spoil the NHL debut of Rangers goaltending prospect Dylan Garand<\/a>. The 23-year-old impressed by stopping 35 of the 37 shots he faced in regulation and overtime and was arguably one of the best players on the ice.<\/p>\n

Garand’s biggest save came midway through the second period when he denied Connor on a shorthanded 2-on-0 breakaway. He was fortunate minutes later when Cole Perfetti’s shot from in tight clanked off the crossbar and out.<\/p>\n

Lowry scored on a tic-tac-toe passing play from Perfetti and Lowry 13 minutes in that Garand had little chance of preventing. Lowry’s goal was his first since Jan. 13, which was 25 games ago.<\/p>\n

Jets backup Eric Comrie<\/a> made 27 saves in regulation and overtime, then two more in the shootout.<\/p>\n

The Rangers lost for a 24th time in 33 home games despite the play of Garand and a power-play goal from Mika Zibanejad<\/a>. Skating in his 999th regular-season game in the league, Zibanejad reached the 30-goal mark for the first time since 2022-23 and third time in his career.<\/p>\n

The soon-to-be 33-year-old from Sweden has scored in three consecutive games and is now tied with Adam Graves for the fourth-most goals in franchise history with 280. Tye Kartye<\/a>, a late-February waiver pickup from Seattle, also scored for New York, which has lost four in a row and is last in the Eastern Conference.<\/p>\n

Jets: Return home to face the Vegas Golden Knights<\/a> on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Rangers: Igor Shesterkin<\/a> is expected to start Monday night at home against the Ottawa Senators<\/a>.<\/p>\n
