"The addition of Olli Jokinen wasn't enough for the Rangers Tuesday night.

Anze Kopitar scored a short-handed goal and Jonathan Quick made 20 saves in the Los Angeles Kings' seventh straight victory, 2-1 over the punchless Rangers.

New York's only goal came late in the third by Marian Gaborik.

Ryan Smyth scored with 8:46 to play for the Kings, who are on their longest winning streak since early 1992, when Wayne Gretzky's Kings won a franchise-record eight straight.

Gaborik scored with 2:37 left to ruin Quick's shutout bid, but New York lost its sixth in seven games despite the arrivals of forwards Jokinen and Brandon Prust, acquired in a trade with Calgary less than 24 hours earlier.

Henrik Lundqvist stopped 19 shots for New York, which had a handful of tantalizing chances after Gaborik scored his fourth goal in two games.

But not even a trade for two tough forwards could spark the Rangers, who had scored just five goals during a five-game skid before Sunday's 3-1 win at Colorado. Gaborik had a hat trick in the victory, but the Kings largely shut down his new line in the Rangers' final stop of a Western road swing."
