New York • Mats Zuccarello scored a power-play goal at 2:37 of overtime and the slumping New York Rangers beat the Anaheim Ducks 3-2 Tuesday night for their fourth win in 15 games.
Derrick Brassard had two goals and an assist as the Rangers snapped a three-game losing streak. Henrik Lundqvist made 17 saves.
Corey Perry and Rickard Rakell scored for the Ducks, who lost their second in as many nights.
The Rangers got the power play when defenseman Cam Fowler was called for holding New York defenseman Ryan McDonagh as he broke into the offensive zone.
Dan Boyle made a cross-ice pass to Zuccarello in the right circle for a shot that beat John Gibson for his 15th goal of the season.
The Rangers were within 2:54 of winning the game in regulation when Rakell tied the score with a shot from the left circle that appeared to deflect off McDonagh's stick.
Until that point, it appeared Brassard's second goal of the game earlier in the period was going to be the winner.
Zuccarello set it up by stealing a pass by Jiri Sekac deep in the Ducks' zone and finding Brassard alone in front for his 13th goal.
A little less than 2 minutes later, Lundqvist made his best save, going side-to-side in the net to make a sprawling stop of a shot by Rakell from the left circle. However, the forward got even late with his seventh goal.
Blues 2, Bruins 0 • At Boston, Jake Allen stopped 32 shots for his fifth shutout, Vladimir Tarasenko and Robby Fabbri scored third-period goals and St. Louis cooled off the Bruins.
Canucks 2, Lightning 1 • At Tampa, Fla., Daniel Sedin scored the go-ahead goal in the third period, Jacob Markstrom made 26 saves and road-weary Vancouver beat the Lightning.
Devils 4, Red Wings 3 • At Detroit, Kyle Palmieri had a goal and an assist, Cory Schneider made 25 saves and New Jersey defeated the Red Wings.
Panthers 2, Senators 1 • At Sunrise, Fla., Aleksander Barkov scored the winning goal in a shootout to lift streaking Florida over Ottawa.
Wild 2, Canadiens 1 • At St. Paul, Minn., Jason Pominville and Charlie Coyle scored for Minnesota, and the Wild beat teetering Montreal to stick the Canadiens with their fifth straight defeat. —
