Derek Stepan and Mats Zuccarello connected to score a highlight-reel goal for the New York Rangers against the Florida Panthers on Saturday night.
Stepan knocked the puck out of the air in his own zone, then found Zuccarello with a stretch pass, and the Norweigan forward deked out Roberto Luongo to give New York the lead.
Zuccarello picked up a pair of assists prior to the go-ahead goal, giving him 21 points in 20 games.
Viktor Stalberg tallied an insurance marker nearly two minutes later to give the Rangers a 4-2 lead, but the Panthers rallied to tie the game late in the third period with a pair of goals in 39 seconds.
