NHL ROUNDUP : Suter Scores Late Goal and Flames Tie Rangers

New York Ranger goaltender John Vanbiesbrouck would have liked to have made one more save Friday night against the Calgary Flames.

Gary Suter scored with five seconds to play in regulation to send the game into overtime, where the Flames and Rangers tied, 4-4, at Calgary.

After a scramble in front of the net, Suter kicked the puck and then lifted it over Vanbiesbrouck for the tying goal at 19:55. Vanbiesbrouck made 43 saves in regulation.

“When you give one up late in the game it’s frustrating,” Vanbiesbrouck said. “I happened in Vancouver, too. It’s tough for the guys.”

Sergei Zubov scored at 2:38 of the third period to give the Rangers a 4-3 lead. It was his seventh goal.

New York killed a five-minute major penalty on the Flames’ Mike Gartner in the third period to keep the lead until Suter’s goal.

Gartner scored his 37th goal at 34 seconds into the second period and the Rangers’ Adam Graves tied it with his 27th at 6:53 of the period on a power play.

Frank Musil, Al MacInnis, and Joe Nieuwendyk scored first-period goals against Vanbiesbrouck for a 3-0 lead, two on the power play. It was Nieuwendyk’s 28th of the season.

Tony Amonte got the Rangers on the scoreboard with his 25th goal at 19:54 of the first period on the power play.

Vancouver 7, Winnipeg 4--The Canucks continued their dominance over the Jets with their fifth victory in as many games at Winnipeg.

Cliff Ronning, Petr Nedved, Trevor Linden, Dave Babych, Jim Sandlak, Geoff Courtnall and Robert Kron scored for the Canucks.

Kris King had two goals and Phil Housley and Teemu Selanne scored one apiece for the Jets, who lost a chance to move past the Kings into third place in the Smythe Division.

Montreal 6, Buffalo 4--Linemates Mike Keane, John LeClair and Kirk Muller each scored as the Candiens gave up two goals, then scored the next five to win at Buffalo.

Keane, LeClair and Muller combined for seven points for the Canadiens, who lead the NHL with 84 points.

Buffalo got two goals from Alexander Mogilny, his 61st and 62nd.
