NEW YORK — Rangers coach Tom Renney finds plenty of positive words to describe Michal Rozsival.

On Saturday, he called New York's most dependable defenseman a "warrior," for fighting his way back onto the ice after a knee injury. When Rozsival lifted the Rangers to a double-overtime win over the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday, Renney referred to him as a "champion."

Rozsival said little to praise himself after he scored the goal that gave the Rangers a 2-1 victory in Game 3 and got them back in the series against the high-flying Sabres.

He went with "lucky."

"I was lucky enough that I had a lucky shot, and I just tried to put it on net," Rozsival said after the Rangers' longest game in exactly 36 years ended 16:43 into the second overtime. "Anything can happen when you put it on the net."

Buffalo still leads the Eastern Conference semifinal series 2-1, but the Rangers can get even Tuesday night in Madison Square Garden.
