May 8 (The Sports Xchange) - The New York Rangers saved their season with a 2-1 win over Washington in Game Five of their Eastern Conference semi-final series on Friday after defenseman Ryan McDonagh scored in overtime to seal the victory.
The Capitals lead the best-of-seven series 3-2 with Game Six set for Washington on Sunday.
After two scoreless periods, Capitals winger Curtis Glencross opened the scoring midway through the third and the goal looked like it would be enough to take Washington through to the Conference final.
However, New York's Chris Kreider scored with under two minutes left to tie the game and send it to overtime.
