Zuccarello leads Rangers to 4-1 win over Senators in Game 3

Rick Nash, Michael Grabner and Oscar Lindberg also scored for the Rangers, who bounced back after losing 6-5 in overtime to Ottawa in Game 2. “We played like that tonight and we’re going to continue to”, he said Saturday after scoring the overtime goal that gave the Senators a 5-4 win and a 3-2 lead in the series.

Momentum, though, started to shift back in New York’s favor in the back half of the second.

Kyle Turris beat Henrik Lundqvist five-hole in overtime as the Senators pulled out a 5-4 victory over the New York Rangers on Saturday afternoon.

“I think our line has been doing a really good job, getting pucks back from the forecheck”, Lindberg said. “The two goals are pretty similar in the sense that we had guys there and the puck went in”. The Rangers have to be the more confident team and have the better goalie. “That’s when we’re effective around the net is when we get second chances or screened shots (or) tips”.

The NHL’s hockey operations initiate reviews in the final minute of the third and at any point in overtime on plays that would be subject to a coach’s challenge.

Karlsson skated 14:54 and was a minus-1 through two periods before his exit Thursday. Unfortunately, the Rangers fell back into their usual shell after gaining the lead, and it came back to haunt them.again.

And after earlier struggles at home, the Rangers have won three in a row at MSG in the playoffs. These are the sentiments that have been shown around the league since the loss in game four. “They are not exactly playmaking assists”. Then again they did score twice within five minutes of the incident, so when I go back to watch am I going to see them play bigger or was it just an event in an otherwise insane game? “Sometimes it ends up in the back of the net”. Rangers head coach Alain Vigneault not only echoed Zibanejad’s sentiments Wednesday, he took them a step further. If the Senators are going to win this series, they will need a strong response at home. The Rangers have scored first in each game this series. “It’s about four lines doing everything right and that’s what you need this time of the year”.

Lindberg’s second of the night was a floater from the top of the circle that Anderson completely missed. After a Game 1 win, which saw Lundqvist pelted with 43 shots, Boucher said “lots and lots and lots of shots” were necessary to beat the Rangers’ goalie, who entered the night tied for 13th in career playoff wins (61). Zuccarello played the puck behind the net and Anderson made a decision to leave his crease to get it. Craig Anderson has given up 26 goals on 298 shots faced and Mike Condon has allowed one goal on 10 shots. The 27-year-old goaltender is in his first season with the Ottawa Senators. “Then we at least have the chance to compete with them; and that’s what we are looking for”.

In the first round last month against Montreal, the Rangers trailed 2-1 before also winning three in a row to advance to this round. Holden’s came with 5:56 remaining in the first period. Game 7, if necessary, will take place in Ottawa on Thursday, May 11. Kevin Hayes’ pass was deflected up in the air before Grabner’s no-goal.

“We have to find a way to get more offence”, Brassard said.

Added defenseman Brady Skjei: “It’s a huge Game 4, and we’re still down in the series, so we still have to play with that same desperation and same energy that we had in the first period”.

NOTES: Senators C Zack Smith (upper body) left the game in the first period and did not return. He replaced LW Pavel Buchnevich.
