Rangers defeat Utah 5-3, extend point streak

The New York Rangers secured a thrilling 5-3 comeback victory against the Utah Hockey Club, marking their first win when trailing after two periods this season. The Rangers, who ended their Western road trip with a record of 2-0-1, extended their point streak to six games thanks to a strong third period where they scored three unanswered goals. Key performances included Chris Kreider's tiebreaking goal and Artemi Panarin's contribution of two goals, one of which was an empty-netter to seal the win. Despite a shaky start that saw them fall behind early, the Rangers rallied with timely plays and solid goaltending from Igor Shesterkin, who made 28 saves. The loss was tough for Utah, which has struggled lately, dropping to 2-8-2 in their last 12 games. Matias Maccelli shone for Utah with two goals, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Rangers' resurgence in the final period.
