TORONTO _ The frustration of losing had reached enormous levels, but Ryan Strome finally ended it when he finished off a pass from Boo Nieves to score 1:48 into overtime and give the Rangers an unlikely 2-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs Saturday at Scotiabank Centre.
Alexandar Georgiev made 44 saves to keep the Rangers in the game, as they ended a five-game losing streak and a nine-game overtime losing streak.
Rangers coach David Quinn has been imploring, pleading and begging his team to shoot more. But it just hasn't seemed like a natural thing for the Blueshirts.
