0 shoutsBERN, Switzerland (Ticker) -- The New York Rangers rallied for a 4-3 victory over Metallburg Magnitogorsk of the Russian Kontinental Hockey League in their preseason finale Wednesday.
Dan Fritsche, Chris Drury and Ryan Callahan scored in the third period for the Rangers, who erased a 3-0 deficit late in the second. Callahan tallied the game-winner with 20 seconds remaining.
The Rangers, who concluded their exhibition slate with a 3-5 record, open the regular season this weekend with a pair of games against the Tampa Bay Lightning in Prague.
Magnitogorsk is ranked 12th out of 24 teams in the KHL.
Wednesday marked the first time an NHL team faced a Russian club outside of North America.
