This one is certainly going to sting for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Just 59 seconds after Colin Greening scored to tie the game Thursday, Morgan Rielly turned the puck over behind the net, and the New York Rangers made him pay by executing a tic-tac-toe to perfection.

J.T. Miller found Mats Zuccarello in the slot, who then set up Derek Stepan for the go-ahead marker with just over one minute remaining to lead the Rangers to a 4-2 victory.

Zuccarello recorded three points in the win, and established a new career high with his 20th goal of the season.

New York improves to 33-19-6 with the win, while Toronto falls to 20-27-9.
