Mats Zuccarello had two goals, and the Rangers scored three times in just over a minute in the third period to rally for a 4-2 win over the host Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday night.
Brandon Saad, the Blue Jackets’ blockbuster acquisition in the off-season, scored on a power play at 16 minutes 10 seconds of the third to give the Blue Jackets a 2-1 lead in their season opener.
But after a Columbus turnover, Oscar Lindberg netted a low shot for his second goal in two games to tie it at 2-2.
