Devon Toews scores in overtime and Avalanche rally for 3-2 win over Rangers

DENVER (AP) --- Devon Toews scored 4:23 into overtime after Artturi Lehkonen
tied the game late in regulation, and the Colorado Avalanche began a five-game
homestand with a 3-2 win over the New York Rangers on Tuesday night.
It was the Avalanche's 14th comeback victory of the season.
Toews took a pass from Nathan MacKinnon and one-timed a shot past Igor
Shesterkin from the right circle. Earlier in overtime, Colorado killed off a
power play following an interference penalty on Mikko Rantanen, and Avalanche
goalie Mackenzie Blackwood stopped Mika Zibanejad on a breakaway.
Parker Kelly scored in the first period for Colorado. With Blackwood pulled for
an extra skater, Lehkonen tied it 2-all off a rebound with 1:13 remaining in
the third.
Cale Makar had an assist to reach 50 points for the fifth time in his career.
It's the most 50-point seasons by a defenseman in franchise history.
Blackwood made 27 saves, including several sprawling ones to keep the Avalanche
in position to rally.
Sam Carrick had a goal and an assist for New York, and Adam Edstrom also
scored. Rangers defenseman Ryan Lindgren had five of the team's 23 blocked
shots.
Makar set up Kelly's goal in the first but also fumbled the puck on a power
play, leading to Carrick's short-handed goal that tied the game.
Shesterkin finished with 23 saves.
Takeaways Rangers: Went 3 for 3 on the penalty kill and scored their sixth short-handed goal of the season. But the Rangers were 0 for 3 on the power play. Avalanche: Makar joined Rantanen and MacKinnon in the 50-point club for Colorado this season. MacKinnon had two assists.
Key moment Blackwood came up with save after save in overtime.
Key stat Rangers defenseman Adam Fox skated in his 400th NHL game. He has 341 career points.
