Red Wings Down Rangers in OT

 width=Marek Zidlicky scored 1:09 into overtime to give the Detroit Red Wings a 2-1 win over the New York Rangers on Wednesday.

Acquired by the Red Wings from New Jersey at the trade deadline, Zidlicky paid dividends with a power-play goal in the extra session.

Henrik Zetterberg, who returned from a four-game absence due to injury, sent a short pass from the right circle to the front of the net for Pavel Datsyuk, who turned around and tried to jam the puck in.

Cam Talbot made the stop, but the puck sat in the slot and Zidlicky was able to take a swipe at it, with the puck bouncing over Talbot and in for the victory.

Justin Abdelkader scored the other goal while Jimmy Howard made 39 saves for the Red Wings, who have won three straight.

Dan Girardi scored the only goal of the game for the Rangers, who had won five of six coming in. Talbot made 29 stops.
