- THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jesper Fast scored on a deflection in front with 1:42 to play and the New York Rangers rallied to beat the Boston Bruins 21 on Monday night.

Derick Brassard also scored in the third period and Henrik Lundqvist made 32 saves, including a highlight-reel stop on Max Talbot, as the Rangers beat the Bruins for only the fourth time in 12 meetings (4-8).

Jimmy Hayes scored for the Bruins, and Tuukka Rask had 28 saves. Boston is 2-6-1 in its last nine games.

It marked the first time this season the Rangers have overcome a deficit at the start of the third period and won in regulation. They were 0-11-2 entering the game. Lundqvist kept the game tied with a magnificen­t save on Talbot shortly after Brassard evened the score early in the third.
