Rangers record 3 goals in 77 seconds to steal win from Blue Jackets

Brandon Saad was on the verge of playing the hero.

The forward scored his first goal of the season in his regular-season debut for the Columbus Blue Jackets, putting them up 2-1 over the New York Rangers with less than four minutes to play in the third period.

The Rangers, however, had other ideas, as Oscar Lindberg, Kevin Hayes, and Mats Zuccarello each scored within a span of 1:17 to secure a 4-2, come-from-behind win at home over their division rivals.

It was Hayes who recorded the winner, and from a seemingly impossible angle.

With the win, the Rangers improved to 2-0 to start the season.
