Turner Field.Zimmerman will makee his 19th appearance, 1

NEW YORK -- Aleksander Barkov emptied out his bag of tricks trying to beat Henrik Lundqvist in a shootout.Barkov tapped the puck off his skate, made a big deke to his forehand and then tried to reach way back with one arm for a backhand shot.He got the winner, but only by a matter of luck -- and about an inch.Barkov and Vincent Trochek scored in the shootout, lifting the Florida Panthers over the New York Rangers 3-2 on Sunday night.Barkov took his unconventional approach at Lundqvist knowing a goal would win the game. Lundqvist got his stick on the puck while Barkov tried going to the backhand, but it skipped over the paddle and trickled toward the goal line.Lundqvist dove desperately as the puck approached the line, but his glove didnt swat it away until after it had fully entered the cage.The Panthers trailed twice but came back behind goals from Keith Yandle and Aaron Ekblad. The win gives Florida a 3-1 record on this four-game trip, and the Panthers also got their first victory at Madison Square Garden since April 18, 2013.Were a pretty happy team with the wins we are stringing together, Ekblad said. We look to play tight games and limit chances.James Reimer played a big role in the win, making 33 saves and stopping two more shots during the shootout. Reimer is 3-3-1 on the season.He had a great bounce-back game for him, Panthers coach Gerard Gallant said. Im real happy for him. The team worked hard ... but he had a huge effort tonight. That gave us the two points.It gets worse for New York. Mika Zibanejad left during overtime after falling hard into the end boards, and the team said he has a broken leg that will keep him out six to eight weeks.Lundqvist made 28 saves in his 700th start for the Rangers. He is only the fifth goalie in NHL history to play 700 games with one franchise.New Yorks Chris Kreider opened the scoring with 6:45 left in the first period on his fourth goal of the season. Derek Stepan skated through the neutral zone untouched and into the Panthers zone. He dished the puck off to Kreider, and he buried a shot from atop the faceoff circle for his 10th point in 13 games.Yandle tied it in the second period with a shot from the point while the Panthers were on the power play. It was his first trip back to New York since the Rangers traded him to Florida on June 20.The 30-year-old defenseman signed a seven-year, $44.45 million contract three days after the deal. Yandle spent one full season with the Rangers and part of another after they acquired him from the Coyotes on March 1, 2015.Its special for sure, Yandle said. Such a fun building to play in.The Rangers briefly retook the lead early in the third when Mats Zuccarello bounced a shot off Zibanejads body at 1:45. The goal was Zibanejads fifth of the season, but the Panthers eliminated the deficit when Ekblad scored his fifth with 7:54 left.Sunday was the first time the Rangers lost back-to-back games this season, but they remain two points ahead of the Pittsburgh Penguins for first place in the Eastern Conference. They play a home-and-home with Pittsburgh this week.They had a couple opportunities in tight where Hank (Lundqvist) had to make some big saves, Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said. But thats the type of game right now that seems to be played throughout the league, tight. We were pretty even on both sides and lost in the shootout.Game notes Prior to the game, Rangers broadcaster Sam Rosen was honored for his induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Rosen was joined on the ice by members of his family and broadcast partner Joe Micheletti, and former partner John Davidson. ... The Rangers scratched D Adam Clendening and C Oscar Lindberg. ...

ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Braves will try to play the role of spoiler this weekend as they finish their occupancy at Turner Field against the Detroit Tigers.The Braves, firmly ensconced in last place in the National League East, can help deny the Tigers a shot at gaining an American League wild-card spot.The Tigers (86-73) beat the Braves 6-2 on Friday, and drew to within one-half game of Toronto (87-73), which lost to Boston. The Tigers remain 1 1/2 games behind Baltimore, which defeated New York.I had one eye on the scoreboard, Ausmus said. We do appreciate the help, but weve got to take care of business for ourselves.If Detroit has a chance to make the playoffs after this weekend, they will make up the Cleveland game that was rained out on Sept. 29. The game will not be played if there are no playoff implications. If the Tigers need to play, they announced Friday that they would start right-hander Michael Fulmer (11-7, 3.06).They get it. They know how this works, Ausmus said. The feeling is we have to win.The Tigers will send right-hander Jordan Zimmerman (9-6, 4.86) to the mound to oppose Atlanta right-hander Aaron Blair (1-7, 8.02). It is the penultimate game to be played at Turner Field.Zimmerman will makee his 19th appearance, 18th start, of the season against an old rival.dddddddddddd Zimmerman has made 18 career starts against Atlanta, all while he was a member of the Washington Nationals.

It was the first relief appearance of his career.Blair, a rookie, will make is 15th start and will try to find the form he showed in his Sept. 19 start against the Mets, when he allowed two runs over six innings. He regressed in his last start on Sept. 24 in Miami, giving up five runs in 3 1/3 innings. He has never faced the Tigers.The Braves are concerned about rookie Tyrell Jenkins, who left the game with tingling in his upper arm after getting two outs in the eighth inning. He left after throwing a ball to Miguel Cabrera.Well get him back in here and look at him, Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said. There was no reason to push him. We had enough guys in the bullpen to cover the innings. ' ' '
