The Rangers broke a scoreless tie midway through the first period when Rick Nash stickhandled through two defensemen and slid the puck over to Hagelin, who had an empty half of a net to shoot at. Stepan stole the puck at center ice and snapped a shot past Rask to make it 2-0 in the second.

The Rangers started the third period with a two-goal lead and a two-man advantage. Boston killed off the penalties, but a minute later Stralman floated a seemingly harmless shot toward Rask that got through the goalie's pads and trickled into the net.

Krejci put back a rebound to make it 3-1. Horton scored with 1:31 left in regulation to make it a one-goal game and awaken the sold-out building. Just 48 seconds later, with 43 seconds left in regulation and Rask off for an extra skater, Marchand found the top of the net to tie it.

Lundqvist stopped Tyler Seguin and Patrice Bergeron in the shootout, and Rask stopped Marian Gaborik before Nash went right and then left to slide the puck into the net. Marchand scored for Boston to tie it, and Brad Richards missed for New York before Krejci went wide.

Callahan put in a long wrist shot to end it.

Notes: Hagelin had two goals and an assist in the Rangers' previous game. ... The Bruins were 0-4 on the power play, making them 4 for 43 on the season. ... The Bruins signed F Jay Pandolfo, a former Boston University star, to a two-way contract. ... The Rangers were called for their sixth too-many-men penalty of the season, in the second period. ... Milan Lucic and Dennis Seidenberg each had a pair of assists for Boston.
