Devon Toews scored 4:23 into overtime, and the Colorado Avalanche began a five-game homestand with a win over the New York Rangers.

The Rangers were just a minute away from winning their third straight game, but the Avs tied it with 1:13 left, then won it late in overtime.

Toews took a pass from Nathan MacKinnon and one-timed a shot ... and Avalanche goalie Mackenzie Blackwood stopped Mika Zibanejad on a breakaway. Parker Kelly scored in the first period for Colorado.

Jared Bednar wasn’t happy with his team’s performance on Tuesday and made that clear postgame. But the Avalanche were still victorious, erasing a late third-period deficit before getting another overtime game-winning goal from Devon Toews.

The Rangers are starting to pick up points consistently again, building up their confidence and moving slowly up the standings.
