Red Wings beat Rangers in OT

-

Dylan Larkin scored with 5.1 seconds remaining in overtime, capping an impressive late comeback by the Detroit Red Wings in a 3-2 victory over the New York Rangers on Friday night in Detroit.

Andreas Athanasiou, who had tied the game with 2:02 remaining in the third period, backhanded a pass to Larkin, who redirected the puck past Henrik Lundqvist for his seventh goal of the season. The Rangers led 2-0 after two periods but had their four-game winning streak snapped.

Detroit has won five of six after winning just one of its first 10 games.

Kevin Shattenkir­k and Neal Pionk scored 40 seconds apart during an extended New York power play late in the second period, but Justin Abdelkader began the Detroit rally with a goal early in the third.

Lundqvist remained a win behind Hall of Famer Jacques Plante for seventh place on the career list.

The Rangers scored twice while Detroit’s Jacob de la Rose was serving a doublemino­r for high-sticking. Detroit’s Jimmy Howard makes a stop against the New York Rangers on Friday.
