It looked as though the New York Rangers were going to walk out of Canadian Tire Centre with a win Saturday afternoon.
The Rangers led the Ottawa Senators 4-3 with under two minutes remaining in Game 5 of the teams’ NHL Eastern Conference semifinals series.
But with 1:26 left in regulation, Senators center Derick Brassard evened the score when he put the puck past Rangers netminder Henrik Lundqvist.
