It was the Rangers captain’s third overtime goal of the season and second in six days after scoring the game-winner in a 5-4 win against the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes they go in, sometimes they don\u2019t,\u201d Miller said. \u201cI feel like I\u2019ve had some success in previous years in overtime. Today was kind of a weird one. I was pretty tired out there and they had a little breakdown in their coverage and Vince made a [heck] of a play. Tried to shoot the puck a little bit and it\u2019s nice to get off the schneid a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gabe Perreault<\/a> scored his first NHL goal, and Igor Shesterkin<\/a> made 26 saves for the Rangers (17-15-4), who won for the second time in seven games (2-3-2).<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, there was momentum swings on both sides,\u201d New York coach Mike Sullivan said. \u201cI thought the first two periods we were the better team. I thought they were the better team in the third period. They pushed, they elevated their intensity in the third. I thought they controlled territory in the third, but I thought in the first and second, it was the other way around.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jonatan Berggren<\/a> scored his first goal in two games with St. Louis, and Binnington made 29 saves for the Blues (13-15-8), who are 0-6 in overtime this season (0-8 including shootouts).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not creating enough chances in 3-on-3 offensively, and we have a lot of possession time, but when we turn it over, we are blowing covers,” St. Louis coach Jim Montgomery said. “It\u2019s man-on-man, it should be fairly simple to stay with your man when there\u2019s 3-on-3 versus 5-on-5, but we\u2019re getting beat to our net, we\u2019re losing assignments, we\u2019re getting slipped to the middle of the ice.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe game-winning goal, the guy walks down the middle of the ice. Someone lost his man on the boards. That\u2019s what happened. It\u2019s happened in at least four of the losses, and some of them have just been the other team making some high-end plays. We haven\u2019t made those same plays.\u201d<\/p>\n

Berggren made it 1-0 at 18:58 of the first period after the Blues forced a turnover in the right corner of the offensive zone. Berggren picked up the loose puck and beat Shesterkin from a sharp angle off the short side cross bar and in.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m lucky it went in and nice to get the first one pretty early,\u201d Berggren said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was the Rangers captain’s third overtime goal of the season and second in six days after scoring…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":355211,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-355210","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355210","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=355210"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355210\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/355211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=355210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=355210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=355210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
