It took more than 60 minutes, but the Rangers were victorious on home ice Tuesday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vladislav Gavrikov scored 1:09 into the extra period to secure two points and a 3-2 win over the Stars for the Blueshirts.<\/p>\n
The Stars broke a 1-1 tie just under halfway through the third period, when captain J.T. Miller misplayed the puck at the other end of the ice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The turnover sprung Dallas on a 2-on-1 rush. Wyatt Johnson then backhanded a feed around a sliding Gavrikov to Miko Rantanen, who buried his 11th goal of the season on Rangers goalie Igor Shesterkin for the 2-1 lead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In dumping 20 shots on Stars goalie Casey DeSmith, the Rangers managed to break through with the game-tying goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Will Cuylle corralled a rebound, turned around and banked it in off DeSmith to ultimately force overtime.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two teams put forth a relatively even first two periods. <\/p>\n
Both scored one goal on 10 shots through the opening 20 minutes before posting another 11 shots on goal each in the second.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They also traded off power plays, with the Rangers technically earning five in total and three more man-advantage stretches than the Stars. <\/p>\n
The Rangers power play, which has gone with five forwards on the top unit in Adam Fox\u2019s absence, mustered just four total shots through their first three chances.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite racking up seven shots on goal during a four-minute power play, after Sam Steel drew blood from Alexis Lafreniere on a high-sticking penalty, the Rangers could not capitalize.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While the power play had on-and-off moments, the penalty kill was effective and aggressive.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That left an already-depleted Stars lineup, which was already without defenseman Thomas Harley, even more shorthanded.\u00a0 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It took more than 60 minutes, but the Rangers were victorious on home ice Tuesday night.\u00a0 Vladislav Gavrikov…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":59303,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[3518,9,11,10,541,539,319,3521],"class_list":["post-59302","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-igor-shesterkin","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-new-york-rangers","tag-nhl","tag-sports","tag-will-cuylle"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59302","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59302"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59302\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59303"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59302"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59302"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
