    NHL Roundup

    Rangers 4, Maple Leafs 3

    Ryan Callahan's shootout goal gave New York a victory over Toronto Saturday night and lifted the Rangers into a tie atop the NHL standings.

    The Rangers captain moved in on goalie Jonas Gustavsson and wired a shot top corner in the third round to clinch it. Brad Richards also scored for New York in the shootout. Tim Connolly had Toronto's lone goal in the tiebreaker.

    Marian Gaborik, with two goals, and Brandon Dubinsky scored in regulation for New York (47-21-7). Henrik Lundqvist made 22 stops for the Rangers, and Richards added two assists.

    The Rangers, who lead Pittsburgh by three points in the Eastern Conference, are tied with Western-leading St. Louis with 101 points. The Rangers have one more win than the Blues.

    Lightning 4, Islanders 3

    Steven Stamkos scored twice to tie the Lightning record with 52 goals this season, and Tampa Bay beat New York.

    Stamkos gave the Lightning a 2-0 lead with his second of the night and tied Vincent Lecavalier's club record 1:46 into the second. Stamkos also assisted on Tim Wallace's goal that gave Tampa Bay a 4-3 edge at 12:10 of the third.
