NEW YORK (AP) — Neal Pionk couldn’t ever remember scoring on an end-to-end rush before.The 23-year-old defenseman got the tiebreaking goal on a sensational individual effort late in the third period, and the New York Rangers rallied to beat the Montreal Canadiens 5-3 Tuesday night for their fourth straight victory.“That was a good one,” Pionk said.He brought the puck from behind the Rangers net, spun around one Montreal player, skated up the left side, cut in toward the front of the Canadiens net and put it past goalie Carey Price while falling to the ice with 2:44 left.“I couldn’t believe it,” teammate Mika Zibanejad said. “I told him he doesn’t need us out there.

We did a lot of good things, and a good feeling to win.”Zibanejad capped the scoring after he brought the puck up the left side and tried to send a pass across in front. The puck defected back to him off Jeff Petry’s skate and Zibanejad put it past Price with 1:48 to go.Tomas Tatar had two goals and Max Domi also scored for Montreal, which was 7-3-1 in its last 11 games — including a shootout win across town against the Islanders the previous night.

We couldn’t have been that tired. We had a 3-1 lead. This happens to every team.”The Rangers began their comeback late in the middle period. Just after New York’s power play expired, DeAngelo tipped a shot by Hayes for his second goal with 2:15 left to make it 3-2.“I thought that gave us a little bit of a lift,” Rangers coach David Quinn said. “To play the way we did in the third … it makes you feel pretty good.”New York tied the score near midway through the third. Hayes brought the puck down the right side and passed to his left to Marc Staal Youth Colin Miller Jersey , who fired a shot that Price knocked down with his glove.
