Moore's late goal gives Rangers 2-1 win over Tampa (Reuters)

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Dominic Moore scored late in the third period to lead the New York Rangers a 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning in the opening game of their NHL Eastern Conference final on Saturday.

After a scoreless opening frame the Rangers opened the scoring with just 13 seconds left in the second period.

Derek Stepan, the hero of Game Seven with his overtime goal to put New York past Washington and into the conference final, slammed a Chris Kreider rebound past a sprawling Ben Bishop.
