A Rangers' Come From Behind Win Over the Red Wings in Overtime - HENRIK! ZUCCRAELLO!

The Rangers & the Red Wings are facing off in a lot of overtime games.  The Rangers have taken 7 of 13 wins in overtime play with the Red Wings.  Last night at the Garden our NY Rangers got the overtime win coming from behind.  It was looking like the Rangers were iced in the first period by the Red Wings.  The Rangers only managed 6 shots on goal while Henrik Lundqvist staved off 17 shots.  The 2nd period the Rangers started to heat up but the Wings still had far more shots on goal.  The game remained score less in the 2nd period with both goalies playing exceptional defense.  The third period the Red Wings got the red light on within minutes to take the lead.  The Rangers skated hard scoring the tying goal halfway into the 3rd sending the game into overtime.  It only took 37 seconds for the Rangers to score the winning goal from Mats Zuccarello with an assist by Brady Skjei. Henrik Lundqvist had 40 saves on the night.  "It was a great finish by us" said Lundqvist.  Lundqvist came back onto the ice to shouts of Henrik! Henrik!  He waved his arms in triumph and tossed his hockey stick over the glass into the fans.  GO RANGERS!
