NEW YORK (AP) — Ryan Malone scored in the 11th round of a shootout, and the Tampa Bay Lightning bounced back from giving up a goal late in the third period to beat the New York Rangers 4-3 on Thursday night.
Rangers rookie Derek Stepan scored for the third straight game to tie it with 8:42 left in regulation, but New York couldn’t finish the comeback. The shootout was tied 2-2 after three rounds, and the next 15 shooters were denied until Malone won it with a drive that caromed in off the post.
The Rangers held a 17-7 shots advantage in the third period, but were outshot 3-0 in overtime.
Steven Stamkos scored his 27th goal, and Martin St. Louis added a goal and assist for the Lightning, who won for the fifth win in six games.
