| New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Derick Brassard scored the game-winning goal in overtime to send the New York Rangers to a thrilling 4-3 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday. After Pavel Datsyuk went off for tripping, New Yorks Dan Girardi unleashed a blast from the point. Jonas Gustavsson made the initial save, but the rebound trickled across the crease to Brassard, who was present at the right side of the net to wrist it home for the win. Martin St. Louis and Brassard finished with a goal and an assist apiece and Rick Nash and Lee Stempniak both scored for the Rangers, who snapped a two- game skid. Henrik Lundqvist made 25 saves in the win. Jakub Kindl, Daniel Cleary and Tomas Tatar each lit the lamp for Detroit, which lost its third straight game. Gustavsson sustained an upper-body injury on the final goal. The netminder stayed down on the ice for a prolonged period of time before skating off under his own power. He finished with 26 saves. Dominic Moore moved the puck quickly on a 2-on-1 to Stempniak, who finished off the play with a wrist shot past a diving Gustavsson for a 3-2 lead with 7:50 remaining in regulation. Detroit pulled the goalie with just under three minutes to go and sent the game into overtime on Tatars power-play goal with 7.7 seconds left. Kindls shot from the point never made it to the net. Andrej Nestrasil grabbed the rebound and sent a cross-ice feed to Tatar, who buried a wrister into the back of the net to tie the game at 3-3. The Rangers opened the scoring 6:36 into the first on the power play. Brassard unleashed a slap shot from the top of the left circle and Nash was present in the crease to deflect it past Gustavsson for his 10th goal of the season. Kevin Klein dove into the net and covered the puck with his glove in the crease on a frantic sequence, resulting in a penalty shot for Detroit 5:51 into the second. Gustav Nyquist quickly skated up the slot, but Lundqvist threw up his glove and deflected the puck over the net. New York, which gained momentum off its netminders big stop, made it 2-0 less than a minute later. St. Louis kicked Matt Hunwicks stretch pass out of his skates, skated in on a breakaway and beat Gustavsson with a shot through the five-hole. Riley Sheahan forced a turnover off Klein at the right circle and left the puck for Kindl, who trimmed the deficit in half with a snap shot on the power play at 12:02 of the middle stanza. The Red Wings tied the game 16 seconds later. Clearys shot from a severe angle along the left boards went under Lundqvists arm and into the net. Play continued, however, as the goal was initially waved off. It was quickly ruled a goal upon video review once there was a stoppage in play. Gustavsson preserved the tie with a point-blank glove save on Nash with 1:19 left in the second. Game Notes Cleary played in his first game of the season and tallied his first goal since Jan. 11 ...

After the game, he stunned the 19-year-old rookie mid-interview with a red pillow smothered with blue shaving cream right in the face. "Ohhh! My eyes!" said Wilson, who doubled over and had to retreat from the locker room to the shower room to get a towel and get the sting out. Wilson returned moments later to discuss his role in the Capitals 6-2 win Tuesday night over the New York Islanders. It is hard to overshadow Ovechkin, but Wilson gave it his best shot with his first assist, first goal and first wise decision to pass up a fight against Matt Carkner, who was baiting the youngster in the games final minutes. "He kind of joked around that he was trying to get me the Gordie Howe (hat trick), but I dont think my first Goldie Howe would want to be against him -- hes a pretty tough character," said Wilson, who kept pausing between answers to put his hand to his burning eyes. Ovechkin was obviously happy for Wilson, but the three-time NHL MVP was also all smiles about his own performance. After being sidelined for two games, he scored twice on the power play in a five-goal second period for the Capitals, who have won three straight and are above .500 for the first time this season (8-7). "I felt pretty refreshed out there," said Ovechkin, who has 12 goals this season. "Of course I had a few days off, had a couple of breaks, but I feel pretty good." John Carlson, Marcus Johansson and Alexander Urbom also scored for the Capitals, who went 4 for 6 on the power play. Niccklas Backstrom had three assists, and Braden Holtby made 34 saves.dddddddddddd John Tavares and Kyle Okposo scored for the Islanders, who had won two in a row. Evgeni Nabokov had 33 saves. "Our special teams werent very good. Our PK has to be better," Tavares said. "If we want to give those guys, 8 (Ovechkin) and 19 (Backstrom), those easy plays in front of the net, its going to make a tough night on our goaltender, and we hung him out to dry." Ovechkin was hurt last week when he crashed headfirst into the goalie and net in the first period of a loss at Vancouver. The Capitals won twice without him -- including a 7-0 rout of the Philadelphia Flyers -- and have scored 16 goals in three games. "That had a little bit of a look like last year to me," said Washington coach Adam Oates, recalling the teams late surge that put the Capitals in the playoffs. "A lot of good things." The Capitals were in control enough for Oates to give Wilson a rare appearance on the power play in the third period. Ovechkin fed Wilson in the slot with a pass that made it look as if the two had been playing together for longer than just a couple of months. "Pretty cool to have him pass me that first one," Wilson said. Even it meant his eyes would be stinging for a while.
