NHL PLAYOFFS ROUNDUP Sunday's games

Rangers 2, Sabres 1, 2 OT
NEW YORK -- Michal Rozsival, banged up in each of the first two games of the playoff series, fired a shot from just inside the blue line 16:43 into the second overtime to lift the Rangers to the victory. Buffalo still leads the Eastern Conference semifinal series 2-1, but the Rangers can get even with a Game 4 victory Tuesday night in Madison Square Garden. Jaromir Jagr gave the Rangers a 1-0 lead in the second period, but the Sabres tied it late in the third when Daniel Briere finally took advantage of a slew of Buffalo power plays. After that, it was a goaltending duel between Henrik Lundqvist and Sabres counterpart Ryan Miller. Lundqvist stopped 38 shots and became a winner when Rozsival beat Miller with the Rangers' 46th shot. That was enough to snap the Sabres' five-winning streak against the Rangers and their five-game run overall in the playoffs against New York's Islanders and Rangers.
Ducks 3, Canucks 2
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Corey Perry scored the go-ahead goal on a power play 7:51 into the third period as Anaheim recovered from a double-overtime loss at home in Game 2. Francois Beauchemin and Dustin Penner also scored, and Jean-Sebastien Giguere made 24 saves, including three in the final seconds, as the Ducks took a 2-1 lead in the series. Special teams were the difference for the Ducks, who killed off seven of eight Vancouver power plays -- including a pair of lengthy 5-on-3 advantages -- and converted two of their four chances at the other end. Anaheim limited the Canucks to two shots during a two-man advantage for 1:22 early in the third period, and had just killed off Perry's hooking penalty without giving up a shot before scoring the winning goal. With Alexandre Burrows off for shooting the puck out of play, Perry sent a shot through a screen and between the legs of Roberto Luongo. Markus Naslund and Daniel Sedin scored, and Luongo made 21 saves for the Canucks, who have already bounced back from a 5-1 loss in Game 1 and can tie the best-of-7 Western Conference semifinal series at home Tuesday night.
