Rangers hold off Caps, Wings tie series

THE New York Rangers clawed back a much-needed 4-3 win against the Washington Capitals, while the Detroit Red Wings beat the Anaheim Ducks 3-2 in overtime to draw even in their National Hockey League first-round playoff series on Monday.

The Boston Bruins downed the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-2 to lead their series 2-1, and the Los Angeles Kings edged the St Louis Blues 4-3 to draw level at 2-2.

New York's Derek Stepan and Arron Asham both scored tiebreaking goals in the third period of Game 3. The Rangers still trail 1-2 in the Eastern Conference series ahead of Game 4 in New York.

Stepan gave the Rangers the lead for good with 6:25 remaining when he deftly tipped in a pass in front from Rick Nash. Asham had put New York in front 3-2 at 2:53, but Jay Beagle got the Capitals even again 4:26 minutes later.

Damien Brunner scored with 4:50 left in overtime to lift Detroit its series-evening win over Anaheim.

Pavel Datsyuk scored a second tying goal for the Red Wings with 6:33 left in regulation. Brendan Smith made it 1-1 early in the third.

Game 5 is tomorrow in Anaheim and Game 6 is back in Detroit.
