DAN Cleary scored the tiebreaking goal with 2:03 left, and Jimmy Howard made 28 saves to lift the Detroit Red Wings to a 3-1 victory over the New York Rangers in the NHL on Sunday.
The Red Wings, who have been trying to make the most of a sputtering offense, shook off an early 1-0 deficit.
After Marian Gaborik failed to control the puck and get off a shot in the Detroit end, Red Wings defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom started a rush the other way. Henrik Zetterberg sent a pass to Cleary, who banked in a shot off the skate of goalie Henrik Lundqvist for his seventh goal.
Detroit also got goals from Pavel Datsyuk and Kris Draper into an empty net.
Brian Boyle scored the lone Rangers' goal, and Lundqvist made 28 saves for New York.
In Anaheim, California, Ottawa gave up one-goal leads three times against the Anaheim Ducks - each time in less than a minute - before Alex Kovalev and Daniel Alfredsson scored in the first two rounds of a shootout for a 4-3 win and snapping the Senators' four-game losing streak.
Ryan Getzlaf scored a fluke goal for Anaheim 15 seconds after Jarkko Ruutu got one, Joffrey Lupul tied it again 31 seconds after Jason Spezza regained the lead for the Senators, and Corey Perry completed the Ducks' unusual "hat-trick" early in the third period after Filip Kuba's go-ahead score.
Brian Elliott finished with 33 saves and stopped two of three shots in the tiebreaker, helping the Senators salvage the finale of a five-game road trip that began with a shootout loss against Boston.
