Unlikely hero propels Rangers to OT win over rival Devils

Mika Zibanejad scored 1:16 into overtime and the Rangers rallied to beat the Devils 4-3 on Saturday in Newark.

Chris Kreider, Oscar Lindberg and Adam Clendening also scored for the Rangers. Antti Raanta had 36 saves, including a stop on a breakaway by Kyle Palmieri just before Zibanejad scored for the first time in 16 games.

Zibanejad took a long pass from Brady Skjei, faked a shot and slid the puck between the goaltender’s legs.

The win was the Rangers’ third in three games against the Devils this season and their ninth in 11 (9-1-1).

Palmieri scored twice and Adam Henrique once for the Devils.
