New York Rangers 2-3 Utah Mammoth (OT)
Despite taking the lead twice at Madison Square Garden, the New York Rangers failed to hold onto their lead twice against the Utah Mammoth. That proved costly for the hosts, who fell 3-2 in overtime.
Sean Durzi scored the winner a minute and change into the extra period on a night where six Mammoth players played a part on the goals. They move up to 10th place in the West as they near a postseason berth.
Mika Zibanejad and Artemi Panarin assisted on both of the Rangers' goals, with Alexis Lafreniere and Vincent Trocheck putting them in front during the second period. Still, it proved not to be enough, with the loss being their fourth in their last five.
