The Rangers had erupted for three goals across the opening 11:24. Then, they’d watched that lead evaporate as the Stars controlled possession, kept generating chances and eventually pulled even before the second period ended.

Alexis Lafreniere and Vincent Trocheck scored twice, but goalie Jonathan Quick fell short in his bid to get career win No. 400.

Seemingly on their way to a comfortable win on home ice, the New York Rangers instead blew a 3-0 lead early and a 4-3 lead late on their way to a 5-4 overtime loss to the Dallas Stars. Jamie Benn scored the game-winner with a power-play goal at 2:15 of overtime.
