Rangers beat Penguins 3-2

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ryan Callahan scored 3:38 into overtime and the New York Rangers won their third consecutive game, scoring twice over the final 5:04 to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-2 on Monday night.

Callahan tapped in a perfect feed from Brandon Dubinsky on a 2-on-1 break for his fifth of the season and first in seven games. Dubinsky, who also assisted on Marc Staal’s tying, short-handed goal with 1:26 left in regulation, made a nice move to get around defenseman Paul Martin before setting up Callahan.

Erik Christensen gave the Rangers a 1-0 lead in the second period.

Pittsburgh’s Chris Kunitz and Matt Cooke scored 38 seconds apart in the final 2:31 of regulation, turning what could have been Henrik Lundqvist’s third shutout in six starts into a potential loss.

Staal tied it 27 seconds later.
