NEW YORK -- Derick Brassard scored a power-play goal 1:50 into overtime, after Detroit tied it in the closing seconds of regulation, to give the New York Rangers their fifth straight victory over the Red Wings, 4-3 on Wednesday night.

Lee Stempniak gave the Rangers a 3-2 lead with 7:50 left in the third period, but Detroit got even for the second time when Tomas Tatar scored on a power play with 7.7 seconds left and goalie Jonas Gustavsson off for an extra skater.

Pavel Datsyuk tripped Martin St. Louis 46 seconds into overtime, and Brassard took advantage when he slammed in a rebound of Dan Girardi's shot.

Stempniak was in line for the winner when he finished a 2-on-1 rush by scoring off a pass from Dominic Moore. Rick Nash and St. Louis also scored for the Rangers, who dropped their previous two games in shootouts. Henrik Lundqvist stopped 25 shots after getting a rare game off on Monday night.

Jakub Kindl and Daniel Cleary scored 13 seconds apart in the second to erase Detroit's 2-0 deficit.
