David Quinn said "I just wanted to shake the lines up" when the Rangers entered the third period. It gave his team a new look, in more ways than one.
Down by a pair after 40 minutes at Madison Square Garden, the Rangers scored twice in the final 10½ minutes to tie, then outlasted the Bruins in a seven-round shootout to wrest away a 4-3 win over Boston on Wednesday night.
Filip Chytil banged in the game-tying goal on a power play, and with Alexandar Georgiev right in his comfort zone in the extra sessions, Tony DeAngelo grabbed the shootout advantage by roofing a forehand over Jaroslav Halak before David Krejci shot wide of Georgiev to end it.
The Rangers earned points for the second straight home game and the 11th time in their last 15 at the Garden - with the homestand set to continue on Friday night when the 1994 Stanley Cup Champions will be coming home for a party.
