NEW YORK (AP) - Dustin Jeffrey scored one of Pittsburgh's three second-period goals and had the only one in a seven-round shootout to lift the injury-depleted Penguins to a 4-3 victory over the New York Rangers on Tuesday night.
Marc-Andre Fleury made 25 saves through overtime and then stopped all seven attempts against him in the shootout to outduel fellow All-Star goalie Henrik Lundqvist, who turned aside 23 shots.
Jeffrey scored in the top half of the seventh round, snapping a shot past Lundqvist. Fleury then denied Marian Gaborik to give the Penguins their fifth straight win at Madison Square Garden.
New York's Ryan Callahan, who missed the previous 19 games because of a broken hand, tied it at 3 in the closing seconds of the second period after the Penguins netted three consecutive goals to grab the lead. Brandon Prust and Artem Anisimov had staked the Rangers to the two-goal edge.
