It took 14 games, but Loui Eriksson has scored for the first time as a member of the Vancouver Canucks.
The high-priced free-agent acquisition took a pass from Daniel Sedin and shoveled one in on the backhand to get the monkey off his back late in the second period Tuesday night against the New York Rangers.
Vancouver forwards Alex Burrows and Sven Baertschi added their first goals of the season in the third period.
The Canucks signed Eriksson to a six-year, $36-million deal on July 1, but the veteran winger managed only four assists in the first 13 games with his new club.
