NHL : Jagr, Shanahan help Rangers pull even

Associated Press The Spokesman-Review

The pressure is back on the Presidents’ Trophy winners.

Jaromir Jagr and Brendan Shanahan scored power-play goals, and Henrik Lundqvist made 29 saves to lift the New York Rangers to a 2-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night in New York, tying the Eastern Conference semifinal series after four games.

The best-of-7 matchup now shifts back to Buffalo, where the Sabres – the NHL’s best team in the regular season – took what seemed to be a commanding 2-0 lead in the series. Game 5 is Friday night, with Game 6 back in New York on Sunday.

Ducks 3, Canucks 2 (OT): At Vancouver, British Columbia, Travis Moen scored 2:07 into overtime to complete a comeback from two goals down in the third period and Anaheim won to take a 3-1 lead in the best-of-7 Western Conference semifinal.

Scott Niedermayer’s point shot hit a crowd in the crease and bounced to Moen in the slot, where he quickly snapped it past Roberto Luongo low on the stick side.

Chris Pronger scored early in the third period and assisted on Teemu Selanne’s tying goal with 5:42 left as the Ducks rallied from the 2-0 deficit.
