DETROIT (AP) — There was time for one more good chance in overtime before the clock would run out. Andreas Athanasiou took the puck near the blue line Jason Pominville Jersey Kids , skated in and backhanded it toward the front of the goal, where Dylan Larkin was open.“I saw the lane to the net,” Larkin said. “I knew he was going to get it to me, so I just tried to put myself on the far side of the net.” Larkin scored with 5.1 seconds remaining in overtime, capping an impressive late comeback by the Detroit Red Wings in a 3-2 victory over the New York Rangers on Friday night. Athanasiou tied the game with 2:02 remaining in the third period, then made the pass to Larkin, who redirected the puck past Henrik Lundqvist for his seventh goal of the season.“Just took a look at the clock,” Athanasiou said. “Got the puck up, (Mike Green) was screaming for me to get it up there. I saw Larks and tried to get it to the net.”The Rangers led 2-0 after two periods but had their four-game winning streak snapped. Detroit has won five of six after winning just one of its first 10 games.Kevin Shattenkirk and Neal Pionk scored 40 seconds apart during an extended New York power play late in the second period, but Justin Abdelkader began the Detroit rally with a goal early in the third.Lundqvist remained a win behind Hall of Famer Jacques Plante for seventh place on the career list.“This one hurts, because we had everything under control,” Lundqvist said.The Rangers scored twice while Detroit’s Jacob de la Rose was serving a double-minor for high-sticking. Shattenkirk beat goalie Jimmy Howard with a wrist shot from the top of the left circle. Then, with de la Rose still in the box Womens Johan Larsson Jersey , Pionk’s perimeter shot appeared to deflect off a Detroit player on its way in.Lundqvist’s bid for his first shutout in nearly a year ended with 18:14 left in the third. Gustav Nyquist took the puck from Rangers defenseman Brendan Smith and fed Abdelkader on the doorstep for an easy goal.“We cheated the game with a 2-0 lead and that’s the result,” Rangers coach David Quinn said. “I thought we had learned that lesson, but we obviously haven’t. You can’t do that in this league.”Athanasiou, back after missing four games with a lower-body injury, tied it toward the end of the third when he sped in from the left wing and backhanded the puck past Lundqvist.“A lot of speed. I knew I could cut in,” Athanasiou said. “Got hooked a little bit, was able to get the puck back and I was able to fake Lundqvist out.”The Red Wings also trailed 2-0 before rallying to beat Vancouver in a shootout Tuesday.“We need to play the first period with the same urgency that we have in the third period,” Detroit coach Jeff Blashill said.NOTES: Mats Zuccarello (groin strain) missed the game for New York. … De la Rose left with an upper-body injury. … With Brett Howden, Lias Andersson and Filip Chytil, the Rangers had three forwards age 20 or younger in the same regular-season game for the first time since Oct. 13, 1990, when Tie Domi, Troy Mallette and Steven Rice played at Washington. … It was the 12th time in the last 13 games between Detroit and New York that the game was decided by one goal.UP NEXTRangers: Visit Columbus on Saturday night.Red Wings: Visit Carolina on Saturday night. GOTHENBURG Authentic Justin Bailey Jersey , Sweden (AP) — Kyle Palmieri, Travis Zajac and the New Jersey Devils left the Edmonton Oilers behind in their season-opener, showing the form that helped them return to the playoffs last season.Palmieri and Zajac scored two goals each to lead the Devils to a 5-2 victory Saturday night in the NHL Global Series game at Scandinavium.“We feel like we have a good group, we have a strong culture,” New Jersey coach John Hynes said. “We have an identity of how we want to play, the types of players we want, how we want to be off the ice. Those are really the things that matter. We want be a tough team to play against.”Stefan Noesen also scored, Miles Wood had two assists, and Keith Kinkaid made 17 saves.“We played a pretty good hockey game from the start,” Zajac said. “Not too many lapses, in our play throughout the game, our speed eventually kind of took over. We played the right way, especially with the lead. It’s early in the season and it’s a good sign.”Milan Lucic and Leon Draisaitl scored for the Oilers.In the new season Kyle Okposo Jersey , Palmieri didn’t waste time.He picked up the puck near the boards in the offensive zone, moved unchecked toward the net from the left and beat Cam Talbot inside the far post on the first shot on goal in the opening minute.The Oilers came back on a power play, with captain Connor McDavid setting it up. The star center used his speed to carry the puck up ice from his own zone and skated around the goal to feed Lucic in front for a one-timer to tie it at 4:01.New Jersey took control early in the middle period with goals from Palmieri and Zajac in a 1:09 span. Palmieri scored on a power play for his second, and Zajac doubled the advantage after Talbot lost the puck behind the goal. The Devils dominated, outshooting the Oilers 10-4 in the period.“Obviously, we weren’t good enough, they were good,” McDavid said. “We did some good stuff, we did some bad stuff, too.”Zajac added his second in the third period after a defensive blunder by defenseman Matt Benning, and before Draisaitl reduced the deficit to 4-2. Noesen finished it off with an empty-netter.“Give them credit, they pressured us in areas that give us a lot of headaches and we weren’t able to do the same for them,” Edmonton coach Todd McLellan said. “We had a tough night http://www.officialsabres.com/authentic-adidas-rasmus-ristolainen-jersey , it was evident. Our puck movement, our puck support, our ability to play fast and clean was not very good.”It was the 23rd NHL regular-season game played in Europe, the 11th in Sweden and the first in Gothenburg.Prior to Saturday, the Devils completed a training camp in Switzerland where they played SC Bern in an exhibition game, while the Oilers came from practice in Germany, where they faced Cologne in an exhibition.The NHL will return to Europe next month. On Nov. 1-2, the Florida Panthers and the Winnipeg Jets will play two regular-season games in the Finnish capital of Helsinki.NOTES: It was only the second time in NHL history that the last two Hart Trophy winners faced each other in a season-opening game. It was also only the third time that the reigning Art Ross Trophy winner (McDavid) and reigning Hart Memorial Trophy winner (Taylor) played against each other in a season opener.UP NEXTOilers: At Boston on Thursday night.Devils: Host Stanley Cup champion Washington on Thursday night.
