Falling just short, 3-2 in overtime, to a strong Avalanche team Tuesday night at Ball Arena, the Rangers felt like they had the game in hand for 58 minutes before Colorado forced overtime with a late score in the third period and ultimately won on a goal from Devon Toews in the extra period.

Toews ended it with a one-timer from the right circle. The goal came after Artturi Lehkonen tied it 2-2 with 1:13 left in the third period, tapping in a rebound at the right post after Rangers goalie Igor Shesterkin failed to hold on to a one-timer from Mikko Rantanen during 6-on-5 play.

Devon Toews scored 4:23 into overtime, and the Colorado Avalanche began a five-game homestand with a win over the New York Rangers.
