PITTSBURGH — Here's how well the New York Rangers are going: None of their forwards, including 600-goal scorers Jaromir Jagr and Brendan Shanahan, found the net against Pittsburgh. They still managed to score four times and come from behind to win in overtime.

Jason Strudwick scored on a 2-on-1 break with fellow Rangers defenseman Paul Mara in the extra period and New York rallied from two goals down, then withstood a late Pittsburgh goal to beat the Penguins 4-3 Saturday night for their fifth straight victory.

Strudwick, who didn't have a point in 13 games, got behind defenseman Sergei Gonchar and took Mara's perfectly placed cross-crease pass to slide it inside the near post before goalie Marc-Andre Fleury could react with 1:40 gone in overtime.

"All I tried to do was get my stick on it and push it to the net," said Strudwick, who hadn't scored a goal since Jan. 28 — also against Pittsburgh. "It worked out this time."

All four Rangers goals came from defensemen as they finished off a four-game road sweep, winning three times after regulation. New York also took the Atlantic Division lead from Philadelphia.

"When you have tight hockey like that, often times those defensemen are very much part of the offense," Rangers coach Tom Renney said. "Under the circumstances, it is a little unique but I don't care if the trend continues."

Asked if he has had four defenseman score against him before, Fleury said, "I don't think so. They have pretty good forwards. Usually if I can stop them, I'm in good shape."

Penguins coach Michel Therrien's reaction to giving up only goals to defensemen?

"That's a sign that things are going well for you," he said.

The Penguins had been held to a single shot in the third period before Petr Sykora tied it with about 5Z\x minutes remaining. Eric Christensen's shot deflected off the rear boards, and Evgeni Malkin, despite being tied up in front of the net, directed it to Sykora for his ninth goal. Malkin's 20th assist gave him at least one point in 13 consecutive games.

Dan Girardi had put the Rangers up 3-2 during a power play late in New York's three-goal second period, making up for an earlier mistake on a Penguins short-handed tally to score his second goal. Girardi was moved onto the top power-play unit after the Rangers were 0-for-5 with the man advantage in beating the Flyers 4-3 in a shootout Thursday.

"I thought our third period was excellent. We had a tough break with the puck coming off the glass, it was just a bad bounce and we were trying to pick people up as they crashed the net," Renney said. "But I thought our third period was textbook. ... The first period wasn't textbook at all."

Michal Rozsival started New York's comeback from a Sidney Crosby-created two-goal deficit by scoring twice in slightly more than three minutes early in the second period. Three of Rozsival's six goal are against Pittsburgh, his one-time club.

"I've been having some success against my former team," he said. "This one really feels special."

The Rangers clamped down defensively behind Henrik Lundqvist, who made 20 saves, to win their ninth in 10 games and send the slumping Pes to their fifth loss in six games.
