Vladislav Gavrikov scored on a rebound 69 seconds into overtime as the New York Rangers recorded a rare home win by beating the Dallas Stars 3-2 on Tuesday night.

After Mika Zibanejad easily moved the puck into the offensive zone, he passed to Artemin Panarin. Panarin’s shot was stopped by goalie Casey DeSmith, but the Stars could not clear.

Gavrikov pounced on the rebound in the slot and lifted a backhander into the slightly vacated left side of the net.

Gavrikov scored his fourth career overtime goal as the Rangers played their first game without top defenseman Adam Fox (shoulder).

The Rangers forced overtime when Will Cuylle netted the tying goal with 2:13 remaining in regulation. Shortly after New York pulled goalie Igor Shesterkin for the extra attacker, Cuylle scored from the edge of the left crease, beating Dallas defenseman Miro Hesikanen to a loose puck and lifting it over DeSmith.

Dallas had taken a 2-1 lead at 9:32 of the third period. Mikko Rantanen finished off a 2-on-1 with Wyatt Johnston following an offensive-zone giveaway near the blue line by New York captain J.T. Miller.

Carson Soucy scored 6:51 into the first period for the Rangers, who improved to 3-8-1 at home.

Kyle Capobianco produced a tying goal midway through the first period for the Stars, who lost Tyler Seguin to an apparent leg injury in the opening minutes. Seguin got hurt when he collided with Gavrikov along the boards in the second minute of the contest.

Dallas saw a four-game winning streak stopped and lost for only the third time in its past 13 contests (10-1-2).

Shesterkin made 23 saves, including a point-blank stop on Colin Blackwell shortly after Rantanen scored.

DeSmith turned aside 38 shots, including 17 in the third period. He also made 10 stops during five New York power plays and denied the Rangers six times during a four-minute high sticking penalty to Sam Steel in the final period.

The Rangers opened the scoring 6:51 into the contest by finishing off an odd-man rush.

After exiting the penalty box, Soucy was sprung on a 2-on-1 with Noah Laba by Conor Sheary’s clearing pass off the boards. Laba’s shot was stopped by DeSmith but trickled into the crease, and Soucy tapped it into the open net.

Dallas tied it a little over two minutes later. Capobianco sent a shot from the point through traffic after New York defenseman Braden Schneider could not clear the offensive zone.
