Jack Eichel scored at 4:52 of overtime and the Vegas Golden Knights beat the New York Rangers 3-2 for their fourth straight win.

NEW YORK -- Nathan MacKinnon scored 2:46 into overtime to lift the Colorado Avalanche to their 20th win of the season, 3-2 against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on Saturday.

The resolve the Rangers showed Saturday afternoon is what the team has been working toward this season, but they only had one point to show for it. A stingy and gutsy 60-minute effort allowed the Blueshirts to push the NHL-leading Avalanche to overtime and secure at least a point before Nathan MacKinnon scored 2:46 into the extra period to hand the home team a 3-2 loss at Madison Square Garden.

Nathan MacKinnon scored 2:46 into overtime for his second goal of the game, helping the Colorado Avalanche top Artemi Panarin and the New York Rangers 3-2.

Mike Sullivan implored the Rangers to simplify and get back to the controlled game that made them one of the league’s stingiest defenses.

The Rangers have made a concerted commitment to tighten up their team defense in the injury absence of All-Star defenseman Adam Fox.

The Rangers lost a point they could have won and all The Maven has heard since is the lame line, "The Ref made a bad call."

Vladislav Gavrikov's goal to make it 2-0 was his sixth of the season, tying his career high set in 2023-24 with the L.A. Kings.
