NEW YORK -- Marian Gaborik vaulted to the top spot on the NHL goal list and earned first star honours with a performance that helped the New York Rangers snap a three-game losing streak.

But Broadway's newest flashy forward didn't get a chance to celebrate his big night on the ice because of an injury that ended it early.

Gaborik scored two goals, moving him into a tie for first in the NHL with 10, and added an assist in the Rangers' 5-2 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes on Monday night. He was on the ice when teammate Enver Lisin closed the scoring with 8:13 left, but didn't finish the game.
