NEW YORK — Mika Zibanejad tied the game late in the third period and New York saved two overtime penalties en route to a shootout victory over Philadelphia.
The comeback for just a fifth win in 18 home games this season came at a potentially huge cost, with captain JT Miller leaving the team in pain after Nick Siler's hard hit with just over eight minutes remaining. Miller appeared to favor his right arm/shoulder as he rolled down and walked down the tunnel to seek medical attention.
Miller was already out of the game when Zibanejad scored late on the power play after Rasmus Ristolainen's delay of game penalty for sending the puck over the glass. Penalties to Artemi Panarin and Scott Morrow in overtime stymied the Rangers, but Igor Shesterkin made four of his 28 saves after regulation.
Panarin scored twice and returned as the shootout winner after missing Thursday night's game in St. Louis with an illness. The Rangers fell behind, allowing three goals in less than four minutes and another before the end of the second period, then Vincent Trocheck made it big in the third.
Travis Sanheim had a goal and an assist and Denver Barkey scored his first two career points in his NHL debut for Philadelphia. Samuel Ersson allowed four goals on 27 shots, plus two more in the shootout, and he and the Flyers lost for the fifth time in six games.
