Joe Juneau scored with 1:15 left in overtime to give the Washington Capitals a 3-2 victory over the Rangers on Tuesday night at New York.

The Rangers appeared headed for their NHL-leading 10th tie when Juneau scored after New York goaltender Mike Richter misplayed the puck in the crease.

St. Louis 3, New Jersey 1--Craig Conroy, who previously had 18 assists in 101 games and never more than two in a game, set up all of visiting St Louis’ goals, helping the Blues end a season-high, five-game winless streak.
