NEW YORK -- Ryan McDonagh scored off a rebound of Dan Girardis shot 1:56 into overtime to complete the New York Rangers surprising rally in a 4-3 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes on Monday night. McDonagh put the puck past backup goalie Thomas Greiss, who relieved injured starter Mike Smith in the third period and then gave up the tying and winning goals. Girardi got the Rangers even with 3:26 left in regulation when he tipped in a drive by his defence partner McDonagh. Brad Richards and Derick Brassard scored in the second period when New York erased a 2-0 deficit Phoenix built in the first. Henrik Lundqvist made 18 saves to win on a night he was honoured for recently breaking Rangers marks for career victories and shutouts. The Rangers fourth straight win pushed them one point ahead of Philadelphia and into second place in the Metropolitan Division with nine games left. Philadelphia, which has two games in hand on the Rangers, will meet them in New York on Wednesday. Kyle Chipchura had a rare goal and assist, and defenceman Oilver Ekman-Larsson and Jeff Halpern also scored for the Coyotes, who hold the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference. Chipchura, who entered with only two goals and 11 assists in 69 games, helped set up Halperns goal and then was credited with the go-ahead tally when Rangers forward Chris Kreider knocked the puck into his own net. Smith stopped 25 shots while making his 12th consecutive start, but was forced to leave with 7:34 left in regulation after he injured his right leg when Brassard was pushed into him by Coyotes defenceman Derek Morris. Greiss came on for his first action since Feb. 28 and stopped seven of nine shots. The Rangers needed two big rallies to keep their winning streak alive. After being ushered off the ice by a chorus of boos following a poor first, the Rangers got Madison Square Garden rocking in the second, but Phoenix went back in front before the second intermission. Richards cut the Coyotes lead in half at 6:10 when a drive by Carl Hagelin found its way through traffic, hit him, and bounded between Smiths pads for Richards 17th goal and first in 11 games. The Rangers tied it with 9:07 left off hard work by Brassard. Brassard bumped with Chipchura in the neutral zone to get the puck into the Phoenix end, and then netted his 17th. Brassards pass attempt in front bounced back to him in the right circle, and he sent a rising shot into the top right corner to make it 2-2. The Rangers were nowhere near the top of their game at the start, and they paid for it. Just 29 seconds after Rick Nash was sent off for tripping, Ekman-Larsson scored his 13th of the season with a stick-bending wrist shot from the right circle at 4:40. Smith, who stopped 10 shots in the first period, earned his third assist of the season. Lundqvist kept Phoenix at bay for a bit, but he was hung out to dry by his teammates when Halpern made it 2-0 on the Coyotes fifth shot. Chipchura made a backhanded pass from below the goal line in front to a wide-open Halpern for a quick shot past Lundqvist at 8:22 for his fifth goal. It appeared the Rangers would be no worse than tied going into the third, but Kreider deflected an attempted centring pass by Chipchura from the left-wing boards between Lundqvists legs to make it 3-2 with 1:09 left in the second. Lundqvist angrily swept the puck out of the net as Chipchura celebrated his third goal of the season and first in 57 games, dating to Oct. 29 vs. Los Angeles.

Vans Old Skool Offerte . PETERSBURG, Fla.LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Brad Richards left Los Angeles in a much better frame of mind this time with the Chicago Blackhawks than he did after he and the New York Rangers lost the Stanley Cup finals to the Kings.Richards scored two goals to lead the Blackhawks to a 4-1 victory over the Kings on Saturday night in a matchup of teams that both won two of the last five Stanley Cup titles.Coming in here is a little bittersweet, said Richards, who failed to score against goalie Jonathan Quick in the five-game final series against Los Angeles. The feeling is, I wish I had done it the last time I was in here. We would have kept the series going.The 14-year veteran signed a one-year deal with the Blackhawks after the Rangers bought out the final six years of his nine-year, $60 million contract.Its obvious that a nine-year deal going to New York is a lot different than a one-year deal coming into a team that won two Cups, Richards said. I was fortunate enough that I could be picky in the summer and try to find a good fit, and here we are.Its funny, because now Im on the team they beat to get to us.Daniel Carcillo also scored for Chicago, and Brandon Saad added an empty-net goal with 1:49 remaining. Corey Crawford made 19 saves in helping the Blackhawks end their road trip 5-1.Halfway through the trip we were kind of on the bubble, right around a playoff spot, and we talked about trying to gain ground and gain momentum going into the second 20 games, Richards said. We did a great job of that. We had big tests against good teams and we piled up five out of six, which is huge.Jordan Nolan scored for Los Angeles, and Quick stopped 21 shots.Trailing 2-0, the Kings got on the board at 5:53 of the second period when defenceman Jake Muzzins slap shot from the left point hit the shaft of Nolans stick and fluttered between Crawfords pads.It was the first goal in 14 games this season for Nolan, who would have been a healthy scratch if not for Marian Gaboriks upper-body injury.Chicago regained its two-goal margin at 8:14 of the second on a rush in which four playerss touched the puck in the Kings end.dddddddddddd Richards converted Michal Rozsivals pass at the left of the net for his sixth goal and third in two games.Its nice when the team starts rolling and you feel like youre helping, said Richards, who is playing on a line with Kris Versteeg and Patrick Kane. Every day it feels more like its my team. It takes a little bit to feel like youre a part of everything on and off the ice.Carcillo opened the scoring at 1:52 of the first, batting in his own rebound after the Kings won a faceoff in their zone and turned over the puck.We didnt have a good first period and we put ourselves behind the eight ball right away, forward Anze Kopitar said. It doesnt matter who youre playing in this league, catch-up hockey is not easy.Just 28 seconds after serving Crawfords penalty for tripping Justin Williams at the edge of the crease, Versteeg took the puck away from Quick and Matt Greene behind the net and found Richards at the left of the crease for a one-timer that beat Quick with 2:01 left in the first.Theyre a tough team to come back on because theyre a great defending team, Kings coach Darryl Sutter said. Theyre the best team in the league through the first two months of the year, and thats clear. If youre going to give them two goals youre probably going to get your butt kicked. Thats exactly what happened.NOTES: Kings D Alec Martinez, who knocked the Blackhawks out of the playoffs with an overtime goal, missed his seventh straight game because of an upper-body injury. ... This was the sixth time this season that Kane and Jonathan Toews both failed to get a point for the Blackhawks, and the first time the team won (1-4-1). ... Chicagos only power-play opportunity came when Robyn Regehr was sent off for hooking with 10:37 left in the third period. ...
