DETROIT - Mistake-prone and on their heels for 40 minutes Friday, the Detroit Red Wings sprung to life in the third period.
They forechecked aggressively, pressured the New York Rangers' defense and scored twice to tie the game.
Dylan Larkin then scored with 5.1 seconds remaining in overtime to give the Red Wings a 3-2 victory at Little Caesars Arena in a spirited come-from-behind effort.
The Red Wings (6-8-2) capped a four-game homestand with their fifth win in the past six games. The Rangers (7-7-2) had their four-game winning streak snapped.
Larkin's goal was his seventh of the season, on a nice feed from Andreas Athanasiou.
