Senators 5, Rangers 4 (overtime)
Kyle Turris scored at 6:28 of overtime to give the Ottawa Senators a come-from-behind 5-4 victory over the New York Rangers at Canadian Tire Centre on Saturday.
The win gives the Senators a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semi-final series that moves to New York for Game 6 on Tuesday.
Turris' attempted first shot was blocked by a Rangers defender, but he was able to get control of the loose puck and beat goalie Henrik Lundqvist to end the game.
New York nearly won the contest two minutes earlier as Michael Grabner knocked a pass from Kevin Hayes out of mid-air at 4:12 of overtime. Officials quickly negated the tally on the basis of a high stick.
Rangers winger Jimmy Vesey scored his first goal of the playoffs with 7:12 left in regulation to snap a 3-3 deadlock on a play that needed to be reviewed. Vesey dove across the crease to swat at the puck, but it wound up in the trapper of diving goalie Craig Anderson.
However, the replay showed that Anderson's glove was just on the other side of the goal line when he caught the puck.
As the extra attacker that jumped on the ice when Anderson rushed to the bench, former Ranger Derick Brassard sent the game into overtime with 1:26 left on the clock.
Off a scramble in front of the crease, Brassard batted the puck that went off a couple of Rangers before sliding behind Lundqvist.
Jesper Fast, Nick Holden and Ryan McDonagh had the other Rangers goals while Mark Stone, Tom Pyatt and Mike Hoffman scored for the Senators.
Lundqvist made 32 saves while Anderson stopped 29 shots.
