Jamie Benn's overtime power-play goal lifted the Dallas Stars to a thrilling 5-4 comeback victory over the New York Rangers on Tuesday night. This win marked a significant turnaround for Dallas, which rallied from an early three-goal deficit. Goaltender Jake Oettinger recorded 21 saves, while defenseman Thomas Harley contributed significantly with a goal and two assists.
Harley's crucial goal tied the game at 4-4 late in the third period following a turnover by Rangers defenseman K’Andre Miller. Benn capitalized on a hooking penalty against Artemi Panarin to score his 11th goal of the season, securing Dallas' first lead of the night. The Rangers, despite a strong start, struggled to maintain their advantage.
New York's Vincent Trocheck had a power-play goal that temporarily put the Rangers ahead, but they still fell short. The Rangers' season continues to be a struggle, now with a record of 6-16-1 over the last 23 games. After a promising win against Chicago, they were unable to string together consecutive victories, highlighting their current challenges.
