NEW YORK — The New York Rangers held on for a 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers Tuesday to avenge last week’s loss to their divisional rivals.

The Flyers beat the Rangers by the same score Thursday, but could not find an equalizer in the re-match in New York after Kimmo Timonen’s conversion on a power-play in the third period.

Michael Del Zotto scored in the first period then assisted on Ryan Callahan’s goal in the second to give the Rangers a 2-0 lead.
The victory was New York’s (3-3-0) third in four games following a slow start to the season. Atlantic division rivals Philadelphia (2-5-0) has now dropped two straight.

Bruins 2, Devils 1: Brad Marchand scored the decisive shootout goal after teammate Nathan Horton forced overtime late in the third period and the Boston Bruins rallied for a win over the New Jersey Devils.

Boston’s Tyler Seguin and New Jersey’s Ilya Kovalchuk scored on their teams’ first shot during the shootout. Then both teams failed on their next four attempts.

But Marchand put the puck between goalie Johan Hedberg’s pads and the Bruins won when Marek Zidlicky’s shot hit Tuukka Rask’s left pad.
David Clarkson had put New Jersey ahead with his fourth goal of the season on a power play at 8:30 of the second period. Horton tied the game with his third goal with 4:05 left in regulation.

Islanders 4, Penguins 1: Matt Moulson scored a goal and assisted on another, Evgeni Nabokov stopped 37 shots and New York dominated listless Pittsburgh.

Maple Leafs 4, Sabres 3, OT: Matt Frattin scored his second goal of the game with 1.5 seconds left in overtime to lift Toronto over Buffalo.
In other games it was: Canadiens 4, Jets 3; Senators 3, Capitals 2; Lightning 5, Panthers 2; Wild 3, Blue Jackets 2. — Agencies
