NEW YORK (AP) — Derek Stepan scored 22 seconds into overtime, and the New York Rangers overcame a late tying goal by Columbus and one disallowed on their side in a 3-2 victory over the Blue Jackets on Sunday night.
Stepan took a pass from Michael Del Zotto, who faked a shot and scored into a wide-open left side of the net.
Columbus captain Rick Nash, the subject of trade rumors — including those involving the Rangers — got the Blue Jackets even at 2 with 1:33 left in regulation. That prompted chants of “We don’t want you” from the disappointed Madison Square Garden crowd.
