Highlight Of The Night

Capitals win, eliminate defending champion Bruins.

Historic Night At Madison Square Garden

From Elias: Brad Richards knocked in the game-tying goal with 7.6 seconds remaining in the third period and then Marc Staal scored the game-winner just one minute, 35 seconds into overtime as the Rangers shocked the Capitals, 3-2, taking a three-games-to-two lead in the series. Both goals were power play goals, following a double-minor penalty to Joel Ward with 21.3 seconds to play in the third period. Not only that, but those goals were historic: This was the first game in the history of the NHL playoffs in which a team scored a tying goal in the last 10 seconds of the third period, then scored the game-winner within the first two minutes of overtime. The previous record for the earliest overtime goal by a team that had tied the score in the last 10 seconds of regulation time was held by the Kings in the "Miracle on Manchester," when Daryl Evans scored at 2:35 of overtime to beat Wayne Gretzky's Oilers, 6-5. Steve Bozek had tied that game with five seconds remaining in the third period, as the Kings scored five times in the third period to wipe out the Oilers' 5-0 lead.
