Rookie Matthew Robertson scored with 67 seconds left in overtime as the New York Rangers snapped a four-game home losing streak by rallying for a 4-3 victory over the Boston Bruins on Monday night.
Robertson scored his first career overtime goal when he got a pass from goalie Jonathan Quick after David Pastrnak's shot was blocked by New York defenseman Braden Schneider.
After getting the puck from Quick, Robertson sped down the left side during a Boston line change and cut to the middle of the slot while making a move around Pavel Zacha. He switched from his backhand to forehand and lifted the puck over goalie Joonas Korpisalo to improve the Rangers to 6-13-4 on home ice.
Will Borgen scored the tying goal with 6:17 left in regulation on a shot from the right point that deflected off Boston's Andrew Peake in the crease.
Will Cuylle and J.T. Miller scored for the Rangers, who are 2-7-1 in their past 10 games.
Quick made 21 saves to earn his 408th career victory, passing Glenn Hall for 12th on the all-time list.
Pastrnak had three assists to become the sixth player in team history with 900 career points as the Bruins fell to 10-2-1 in their past 13 games.
Elias Lindholm scored a pair of tying goals for the Bruins and Morgan Geekie put Boston up 3-2 8:52 into the second.
Pastrnak made slick passes on each goal to reach the milestone when he set up Geekie's 29th goal of the season.
The 29-year-old joined Ray Bourque, Johnny Bucyk, Patrice Bergeron, Phil Esposito and Brad Marchand as the only players to total 900 points for Boston. He achieved the milestone in his 804th career regular-season game and has 29 points in his past 18 games.
Following a giveaway by New York's Alexis Lafreniere, Pastrnak reached the milestone when he took a pass from Charlie McAvoy near the left boards and moved to the middle of the ice near the blue line. As Lafreniere attempted to defend, Pastrnak sent a backhanded pass to Geekie in the left circle and Boston's leading goal scorer lifted a shot over Quick's right shoulder.
Korpisalo finished with 24 saves.
Cuylle opened the scoring by deflecting a point shot from Urho Vaakanainen midway through the first period and Miller scored on a one-timer from the right circle to give the Rangers a 2-1 lead 26 seconds after Lindholm's first tally.
