J.T. Miller scored at 2:43 of overtime as the Rangers edged the Sabres, 3-2, at Citi Field on Monday in the NHL’s 10th annual Winter Classic.
With 2:45 left in overtime, Sabres center Jacob Josefson went off for tripping, and 15 seconds later, due to the wind and ice conditions, the teams changed sides. Miller knocked in a rebound of Kevin Shattenkirk’s shot seconds later for the four-on-three power-play goal. It was Miller’s eighth goal of the season.
Trailing 2-1 after two periods, Sabres defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen zipped a shot from the right point past Henrik Lundqvist’s glove at 27 seconds of the third as the Sabres rebounded from an early 2-0 deficit in the first period.
