National Hockey League: N.Y. Rangers 3 - Boston 2 (OT)

World

We stay in the US and head to Boston for hockey, as the Bruins were at home to the New York Rangers. The recent record between these two teams has been very lopsided with the Rangers winning the last six meetings in a row, and though this one would be close, Mats Zuccarello would help the boys in blue continue their dominance.

Since they're on the road, New York is in white which seems to suit Michael Grabner, who gets very lucky when his shot goes off the glass and Tuukka Rask's back, to find the net. Grabner's shot is well high, but gets a fantastic bounce before carroming in off the unfortunate Finn. Here's a look from overhead as the puck goes off the glass and then Rask, 1-0 Rangers.

Early in the second period and Ryan McDonough makes a beautiful pass to JT Miller, who makes a nice deke on Rask to score, and the powerplay marker makes it 2-0 for New York.

With less than three minutes to play in the period, the Bruins bring it up ice and David Krejci feeds Zdeno Chara whose slapshot is tipped by Danton Heinen past Henrik Lundqvist to get Boston on the board.

Five minutes into the third period, David Pastrnak circles the net and makes a great pass to a wide open Brad Marchand who collects his 13th of the season and the Bruins tie it up at 2 with the powerplay goal.

It would go to overtime and the Rangers have a powerplay which means they get an extra man, and they make use of it to move the puck around. Zuccarello holds then finally fires, beating a screened Rask and New York win 3-2 for their ninth victory in 13 games.

Elsewhere, Ottawa beat Montreal 3-0 outdoors at TD Place in the NHL 100 Classic, defending champions Pittsburgh snapped a three game skid by beating Arizona, Edmonton edged Minnesota 3-2, Carter Hutton stopped a career-best 48 shots as St. Louis shutout Winnipeg, Alexander Ovechkin's 23rd goal was the overtime winner for Washington, and the Islanders beat LA in overtime.
