MONTREAL — It often comes down to bounces in a close NHL playoff series and Mika Zibanejad got a big one. The goal lifted the Rangers to a 3-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens with a chance to close out the best-of-seven Eastern Conference quarter-final on Saturday night in New York. The Canadiens, who once led the series 2-1, will be looking for more from some of their top players in a Game 6 elimination game. He looked to have the game on his stick during a third period breakaway, but was stopped by Henrik Lundqvist. Skjei is the first Rangers rookie defenceman with two playoff goals since Brian Leetch had three in 1989.
