Rangers stunned by late Senators comeback in Game 5 of Eastern Conference semi
OTTAWA — The New York Rangers were 86 seconds from their third straight win over the Ottawa Senators and a 3-2 lead in their Eastern Conference semifinal.
Now they’re heading home on the brink of elimination.
After former Ranger Derick Brassard tied the game 4-4 at 18:34 of the third period, Kyle Turris won it for Ottawa at 6:28 of the first overtime period on Saturday.
It was the second time in the series the Senators have scored late with their goaltender on the bench for an extra skater. Brassard was that extra skater off the bench on Saturday.
