Kyle Turris sent the crowd of 19,082 into hysterics with his victor at 6:28 of overtime to deliver a 5-4 comeback victory over the Rangers at the Canadian Tire Centre as Ottawa took a 3-2 series lead.
Craig Anderson has let up 12 goals on 98 shots over the last three games he has played. Definitely we cant be like we were the last two times there to even think of getting the result we want. Officials quickly negated the tally on the basis of a high stick. They went on to win in the second OT, 4-3, on a goal by Corey Perry. That came after video review had awarded Vesey a goal with 7:12 when Anderson looked like he'd made a big stop but the camera showed his glove was clearly in the net.
Off a scramble in front of the crease, Brassard batted the puck that went off a couple of Rangers before sliding behind Lundqvist.
Oscar Lindberg scored twice for the Rangers, and Nick Holden and Chris Kreider added singles. Lundqvist made 27 saves.
Burakovsky pumped some energy back in with a psychologically important goal with 29.7 seconds remaining in the first period. Both started with Erik Karlsson controlling the puck on the right point and finding a teammate through coverage with a cross-ice pass that was promptly sent at the net for a tip. It was the third of the playoffs for Hoffman.
ABOUT THE RANGERS: All four lines produced goals for NY in Game 3 and its depth was a decisive factor in Game 4, with Oscar Lindberg scoring twice and bruising forward Tanner Glass collecting a pair of assists. It was Pyatt's first of the playoffs.
The Rangers have now lost three times this postseason after giving up a goal after their opponent pulled their goalie. While this team is very good defensively, they're also prone to momentary defensive lapses.
In three of the come-from-behind victories, including Saturday, the Senators rallied from two or more goals to win. Anderson didn't look good at allowing Holden to beat him high on the glove side at 5:13. Vesey had the only helper.
But before then, take a look at what some of the other media outlets are saying about the Rangers' big 4-1 triumph over the Senators on Thursday.
"We got smacked around in New York", Stone said. The momentum may be with the Rangers at the moment but the momentum was with Ottawa after game two. The Rangers held a 2-1 lead but the Senators outshot NY by a 15-10 count.

Washington's Lars Eller had two assists. He has a.913 save percentage in 10 playoff games. He fired the puck by Lundqvist through the five-hole.
The Rangers will never have a chance at the Stanley Cup if this kind of play continues.
Holden slipped behind a hobbling Karlsson on an odd-man rush, accepted a flawless lead pass from Kevin Hayes, and proceeded to beat Anderson over the right pad for his first goal of the postseason at 14:04.
The Rangers tied things up before the period came to an end, however.
