Rangers Stun Panthers, 5-4

Brian Leetch tied the score with one second to play in regulation and Adam Graves’ second goal of the night at 2:10 of overtime gave the New York Rangers a 5-4 victory over the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night at New York.

The Panthers, led by rookies Mark Parrish and Oleg Kvasha, appeared to be on their way to their third consecutive victory when Leetch tied the score at 4-4 with a deflected shot from just outside the crease.

Graves, who had earlier tied the score at 3-3, then scored his 10th goal of the season on a pass from behind the net by Todd Harvey.
