Stars come back from down 3-0 to topple Rangers

Jamie Benn scored a power-play goal 2:17 into overtime as the Dallas Stars ran their winning streak to five games by rallying from an early three-goal deficit for a 5-4 victory over the host New York Rangers on Tuesday night.

Dallas defenseman Thomas Harley scored the game-tying goal with 2:39 remaining in regulation, and Benn kept the winning streak alive when he went to the front of the net and re-directed a pass from Jason Robertson past New York goaltender Jonathan Quick. The goal came after Rangers forward Artemi Panarin was hit with a hooking penalty 25 seconds into the extra period.

Robertson scored in the second period for the Stars, while Matt Duchene and Evgenii Dadonov scored in the first to start the comeback.

Vincent Trocheck and Alexis Lafreniere scored two goals apiece as the Rangers dropped to 6-16-1 over their past 23 games.

Dallas goalie Jake Oettinger made 21 saves while Quick allowed five goals on 39 shots.

After Trocheck scored on a tip-in during a power play with 7:04 remaining in the third to give the Rangers a 4-3 lead, Dallas forged a 4-4 tie.

Sam Steel pressured New York defenseman K’Andre Miller into a turnover along the right end boards and moved behind the net. He found Harley cutting through the slot, and Harley put a shot from the left circle over Quick.

Dallas first tied the game — at 3 — when Robertson pounced on a rebound and circled behind the net and got around Miller before lifting a backhander over Quick from the lower edge of the left circle.

Lafreniere scored his first goal of the night 6:56 into the contest after getting a drop pass from Panarin and lifting a shot from the left circle over Oettinger’s stick. Trocheck made it 2-0 with 10:05 left in the first by leaning over from the right side of the crease for a tip-in of Will Borgen’s shot in the slot, and Lafreniere finished off a breakaway for a 3-0 lead.

Duchene scored when his shot from the right circle was tipped into the net by New York defenseman Urho Vaakanainen with 7:03 remaining. Dadonov cut the Rangers’ lead to 3-2 by getting a loose puck at the doorstep and tapping in his own rebound with 4:04 left.
