David Clarkson potted his third game-winning goal of the playoffs in Wednesday's Game 2 victory over the Rangers to tie the series. The Eastern Conference Finals will now shift to New Jersey for Games 3 and 4 on Saturday and Monday, respectively. Clarkson has three goals in the postseason and they have all stood up as game winners. Ilya Kovalchuk opened the scoring in the first period and Ryan Carter tied the game at 2-2 just before the second intermission. Defenseman Bryce Salvador contributed two assists, while Marek Zidlicky, Zach Parise, Adam Henrique and Steve Bernier had one helper each in the win.
