The New York Rangers ended a prolonged scoring drought and picked up a well-earned point in the standings Thursday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. But the Rangers still were left with an empty feeling after Auston Matthews scored less than a minute into overtime to hand them a 2-1 defeat at Scotiabank Arena.
The Maple Leafs capitalized on a Mika Zibanejad turnover and scored the game-winner off a 3-on-1 rush up ice. Only Adam Fox was back for the Rangers, and the defenseman ended up sliding out of the play when William Nylander deked him with a neat toe drag.
