NHL: Canadiens End Rangers Streak

NEW YORK (AP))— Alex Galchenyuk scored 1:12 into overtime to give the Montreal Canadiens a 3-2 victory that cut the New York Rangers lead to 2-1 in the NHL Eastern Conference final. That ends the Rangers' five-game winning streak in the postseason.

Galchenyuk, playing only his second game of these playoffs after returning from an injury Monday, deflected a feed from Tomas Plekanec to win it.

The Rangers tied it with 28.1 seconds left in regulation on Chris Kreider's goal.

Rookie Montreal goalie Dustin Tokarski kept the Canadiens in the game with 35 saves in just his second playoff start in place of injured Carey Price.

Game 4 is Sunday night in New York.
