PHILADELPHIA -- In a feisty game that featured 48 penalty minutes, the New York Rangers forced overtime in the final seconds of regulation before stealing a 3-2 shootout win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday at Wells Fargo Center.

Right winger Mats Zuccarello and center Derek Stepan scored in the skills competition to win it.

Goaltender Henrik Lundqvist (25-14-4) stopped both his shots in the shootout and made 26 saves to earn his 30th career win against Philadelphia.

With the Rangers trailing 2-1 late in the third period, defenseman Keith Yandle ripped a slap shot to tie it with 12 seconds left. New York never led until the final.

The Rangers (29-18-5) have won five of their last seven and evened their five-game regular-season series with Philadelphia at two games apiece.

The Flyers (23-18-9) had their three-game winning streak snapped.

Philadelphia goaltender Steve Mason (12-12-7) made 26 saves, but couldn't stop any shots in the shootout.

The Flyers struck first with a power-play goal in their seventh consecutive game, the longest active streak in the NHL.

Defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere flung a shot into traffic that went untouched, deflected off Lundqvist and in to give Philadelphia a 1-0 lead 7:16 into the second period and push his point streak to seven games.

The Rangers answered 3:16 into the third period when left winger Chris Kreider deflected a high shot by defenseman Dan Girardi even higher past Mason for his 11th goal of the season.

But back quickly came Philadelphia as Gostisbehere pushed the puck up ice and found center Ryan White to his left, who fired home a snap shot to regain the Flyers' advantage just over two minutes after New York took it away.

The assist for Gostisbehere marked his 10th point in the past seven games.

It didn't take long for the game to turn up a notch between the division rivals.

Flyers right winger Wayne Simmonds, Philadelphia's hottest player entering Saturday with six goals and eight points over the last four games, was ejected in the first period for intent to injure after punching Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh and receiving a five-minute match penalty.

McDonagh stayed down on the ice before needing help to the locker room. New York later announced he would not return. McDonagh, who was initially checked by Simmonds, was penalized four minutes for slashing and high-sticking.

After his game misconduct was announced, Simmonds angrily snapped his stick and threw it on the ice.

Neither team scored off the penalties.
