Colby Armstrong scored 1:19 into overtime and the Pittsburgh Penguins came back from a two-goal, third-period deficit to beat the New York Rangers 3-2 on Saturday.
Maxime Talbot made a good play to keep the puck in the zone and got it to Armstrong, who took a wrist shot from the right boards that deflected off Rangers defenseman Marek Malik's stick and squeezed between goalie Henrik Lundqvist and the near post.
Armstrong's 10th goal of the season came after Sidney Crosby tied the game at 2 with 13:04 to play in regulation, his 100th point of the season.
