NEW YORK (AP) With time winding down in overtime Womens Luke Kunin Jersey , Trevor Daley knew he needed to get in position in front of the net.Daley was in the right spot and tipped in Frans Nielsen’s pass with 5.6 seconds showing on the clock to lift the Detroit Red Wings to a 3-2 victory over the rebuilding New York Rangers on Sunday night.”I heard the bench saying there was only 10 seconds left so I knew we had to get it to the net,” Daley said. ”I went to the net and Nielsen made a great play. I just got lucky and put my stick on it and it went in.”Andreas Athanasiou and Darren Helm also scored for the Red Wings, and Jimmy Howard stopped 36 shots. Detroit improved to 5-3-2 in its last 10 games and pulled into a tie with Florida five points behind Columbus for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.”We know we’re in desperation hockey,” Daley said. ”We know we’ve got to win, we’ve got to win now. Tonight was just another desperate game on a back-to-back.”J.T. Miller and Jesper Fast scored for the Rangers, and Henrik Lundqvist made 31 saves. New York lost its seventh straight, hours after trading star forward Rick Nash to Boston for three players and two draft picks. It also was the Rangers’ first game since trading speedy forward Michael Grabner to New Jersey on Friday night.Ryan Spooner, one of the players acquired from the Bruins, had two assists in his debut for the Rangers, who are 0-6-1 in their last seven and have just three wins in the last 17 games (3-13-1).New York’s Chris Kreider hit the crossbar on a backhand with 55 seconds left in the extra period.”We just can’t catch a break right now,” Lundqvist said. ”We’re getting some good looks and creating some good chances to win. … The good thing is that I think it was a step forward for us Marcus Foligno Jersey , the way we played the game.”Fast tied it when he put in the rebound of Kevin Hayes‘ shot from the left side with 8:44 left in regulation for his 10th of the season.Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill liked the way his team pulled out the victory in overtime, one night after beating Carolina at home.”We think we’ve been in position to do this type of thing, to go on runs, to be a playoff team,” he said. ”We haven’t done it enough. It doesn’t matter what you think, it matters what you prove, but we believe a lot in this team.”Howard made four great saves – one on Brady Skjei and three successive tries by Pavel Buchnevich – during a flurry by the Rangers to preserve Detroit’s lead with 11:20 remaining. The puck went in the net but officials waved it off, saying Mika Zibanejad kicked it in, and the call was confirmed after a long video review.The Red Wings extended their lead to 2-0 about 4 1/2 minutes into the second as Helm got the puck after Rangers defenseman John Gilmour fell down near the blue line, skated up the ice and beat Lundqvist from the right circle for his eighth.Miller got the Rangers on the scoreboard on the power play when he took a pass from Spooner and fired a slap shot from the left circle for his 13th at 7:51.Athanasiou got the Red Wings on the scoreboard with seven seconds left in the first as he brought the puck up the right side with defenseman Rob O’Gara on him, and sent a shot from the left circle through O’Gara’s skates and then through Lundqvist’s legs for his 12th.NOTES: Before the game http://www.officialwild.com/authentic-adidas-matt-dumba-jersey , the Rangers honored Hall of Fame center Jean Ratelle by raising a banner with his name and No. 19 to the rafters at Madison Square Garden. Ratelle, who centered the famous GAG Line with Rod Gilbert and Vic Hadfield, had 336 goals and 481 assists in 861 games with the Rangers. … The Rangers also got forward Matt Beleskey, prospect defenseman Ryan Lindgren and two draft picks from Boston in the Nash trade. … Miller’s goal was his first since Feb. 3 at Nashville. He had five assists in 10 games since. … Detroit won two of the three meetings this season, with all three matchups going beyond regulation. … Helm got his fourth goal and 10th point in his last 13 games. … Athanasiou has two goals and two assists in his last four games, after totaling one assist in his previous 11.UP NEXTRed Wings: At the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday night, the second stop on a five-game trip.Rangers: At the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday night to open a three-game trip to Western Canada.—Follow Vin Cherwoo at www.twitter.com/VinCherwooAP— GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Arizona Coyotes were coming off lopsided home-ice losses to Calgary (6-1) and Colorado (5-1) when general manager John Chayka, unable to wait any longer for more offense, went out and traded for forward Nick Schmaltz.One game later, with the Coyotes down 3-1 to the Minnesota Wild going into the third period on the road Mikael Granlund Jersey , goaltender Antti Raanta left with a lower-body injury. With backup Darcy Kuemper already injured, coach Rick Tocchet was forced to insert the team’s AHL goalie, Adin Hill.Remarkably, the Coyotes — on the verge of playing themselves out of contention only 10 days ago — haven’t lost since.Article continues below ...Arizona will take a four-game winning streak, some momentum and some growing confidence into its Thursday night game against the Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals, who, only a few days ago, had all of the above and more.But the Capitals have lost their last two following a seven-game winning streak and, in a 5-3 loss at the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday, may have lost top-line right wing Tom Wilson for a while with a head injury. Wilson, arguably the NHL’s most notorious hitter Youth Mikko Koivu Jersey , was leveled by a blindside hit from Vegas forward Ryan Reaves so hard that it knocked Wilson’s helmet off.The Capitals (15-9-3) didn’t practice Thursday in advance of the second game of a three-game road trip, a day off that gave them time to think about all they didn’t like about the loss in Las Vegas. Namely, losing Wilson and allowing two goals by former Washington defenseman Nate Schmidt in the final two minutes of the game.“Reaves targeted him (Wilson) the entire game,” Capitals coach Todd Rierden said. “You could hear it on every faceoff, you could hear the things that were being said. And it’s a blindside hit where an unsuspecting player hits his head on the ice. So that’s disappointing. You can put two and two together, but he targeted him the entire game.”Washington already is without forward T.J. Oshie, who sustained the fifth concussion of his career against the Winnipeg Jets three weeks ago.Hill, one of the NHL’s unlikeliest success stories this season, will make his fourth consecutive start on Thursday at Gila River Arena. He is 2-0 with an 0.56 goals-against average following the Coyotes’ 2-1 win at the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday, when more than a handful of his 25 saves were difficult ones.The Coyotes’ special teams produced both goals. Schmaltz scored his fourth of the season on the power play and forward Lawson Crouse scored the team’s league-leading 11th short-handed goal.But it’s Hill that’s been truly special. And coach Rick Tocchet isn’t about to sit down a goaltender who has made 85 saves on 87 shots.“He’s unflappable right now,” Tocchet said. “He’s feeling it Ryan Suter Jersey , and it’s a nice story. … He’s come in and he’s put the plug in for us and he’s holding the fort. We’ll just keep going from there.”The Coyotes thought Raanta might be ready by now, but he didn’t practice Wednesday and Tocchet said Hill would start again.“It’s nice to know the staff here in Arizona has confidence in me, and I want to give them no reason not to,” Hill said.Schmaltz, acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks, has given the Coyotes’ top line a much different look since Tocchet put him at center between Alex Galchenyuk and Clayton Keller before a 3-0 win at Nashville on Nov. 29. In the three games since, Keller and Schmaltz have two goals and three assists apiece and Galchenyuk has an assist.“They’ve got some chemistry going,” Tocchet said. “And they’re going to get better. There’s another level between those guys.”The Capitals and Coyotes split their two games last season, with each winning in overtime on their home ice. The Coyotes (13-11-2) already have won 13 games; they didn’t win their 13th game last season until Feb. 8.
