Watch: Kreider, Zibanejad power Rangers to comeback win over Penguins
Some late heroics from Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad put the New York Rangers in the win column on Wednesday night.
Trailing 3-2 against the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins with less than four minutes remaining in the final frame, the two went to work.
First, following a hectic flurry that saw the two teams score 73 seconds apart, Zibanejad finished off Kreider's pretty passing play to even the score:
Kreider and Zibanejad connected again in extra time, as the former charged into the Penguins' zone before delivering a backhand set-up to his linemate for the winner:
The pair of tallies brought Zibanejad to 22 goals on the season, while Kreider finished the night with a goal and three helpers, bringing his total to 30 points across 47 games.
New York has won two straight games.
