ECF Game 4 - Marty St. Louis beats the Habs in OT, gives Rangers 3-1 series lead
Marty St. Louis, you beauty.
For the second-straight game in the series, the Canadiens and Rangers needed overtime to decide a winner. In Game 3, the hero was 20-year-old Alex Galchenyuk just a minute into OT to get the Habs back in the series.
On Sunday night, it was New York's turn to pull off the game-winning magic, and it was none other than Martin St. Louis who got the job done.
St. Louis scored the winner 6:02 into overtime, skating in from the left face-off circle uncontested, lining up his shot, and ripping the lightning bolt over the shoulder of Dustin Tokarski.
The Rangers now find themselves one victory away from returning to the Stanley Cup finals for the first time since 1994, when they won it all over the Vancouver Canucks in seven games.
Conversely, Montreal is staring at elimination with Game 5 to come tomorrow back home at the Bell Centre.
Montreal Canadiens @ New York Rangers: 2 - 3, New York leads the series 3 - 1
Postgame celebration
