The Rangers (12-10-4) scrapped their way into overtime, and 3:45 into the four-on-four, it was Kevin Klein, probably the most unlikely choice to be leading the team’s defensemen with six goals, ripping a slap shot that deflected off Christian Ehrhoff’s leg and past Pens goalie Marc-Andre Fleury for the victory, snapping a two-game losing streak. “You have two ways to go there - you can be sorry for yourself and be pissed off and disappointed, or you can regroup and refocus and understand that we’re still in the game here and have an opportunity to win it,” Lundqvist said. Puck drops on the next faceoff, and before you know it, Steve Downie is netting a long shot through traffic after Marc Staal couldn’t clear the zone.Īnd there it stood on the scoreboard, a 3-3 tie with 4:19 remaining, and it all seemed to be falling down around Lundqvist, just as it did around his understudy, Cam Talbot, in the awfully disheartening 3-2 loss to the Red Wings in Detroit on Saturday. “Especially with the way we played and being up 3-1, it would’ve been extremely tough to accept the loss.”Īh yes, that 3-1 lead, the one that evaporated in a mere 24 seconds with just under five minutes remaining in regulation.Įvgeni Malkin popped one in following Ryan McDonagh fumbling behind his net. “It’s good we come out with these two points - we just had to win it,” said goalie Henrik Lundqvist, gaining a bit of individual redemption with a solid 32-save performance in his first start in a week. That includes in this backhanded fashion, barely avoiding a second consecutive devastating loss and eking out a 4-3 overtime win against the Penguins on Monday night at the Garden.
