Saturday’s other semifinal

Senators 5, Rangers 4, OT

OTTAWA, ONTARIO

Kyle Turris scored 6:28 into overtime to lift Ottawa to victory over New York for a 3-2 series lead in their Eastern Conference semifinal series. Derick Brassard tied the score with 1:26 left in the third period for the Senators. Mark Stone, Mike Hoffman and Tom Pyatt also scored and Craig Anderson stopped 29 shots. Jesper Fast, Nick Holden, Ryan McDonagh and Jimmy Vesey scored for the Rangers, and Henrik Lundqvist finished with 32 saves. Michael Grabner appeared to win it for the Rangers less than 5 minutes into overtime, but it was disallowed because his redirection came on a high-stick. Turris then knocked in the rebound of his own shot through Lundqvist’s five-hole. Ottawa trailed 2-0 less than 51/2 minutes into the game. Game 6 is Tuesday night in New York.
