NEW YORK (AP) — Ty Kartye scored the go-ahead goal, Dylan Garand made 23 saves and the New York Rangers rallied to beat the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Thursday night.
After Rangers forward Pavel Dorofeyev
beat goalie Joseph Woll on a power-play to tie it, Kartye put the Rangers ahead with 4:39 left with his fifth goal.
Gabe Perreault also scored for the Rangers, who won their second straight after a four-game losing streak. Adam Fox had two assists.
Noel Acciari and Simon Benoit scored for Philadelphia. The Flyers are 4-10-4.
Perreault opened the scoring with his fifth goal at 4:39 of the first, his first goal since Oct. 19.
Benoit tied it with 9:50 to go in the second before Acciari put the visitors ahead with 7:51 left in the period.
Dorofeyev, who signed a seven-year, $77 million contract to essentially replace high-scoring forward Artemi Panarin, snapped his fifth goal past Woll with 6:08 left.
Kartye, a waiver wire pickup from Seattle late last season, then put the Rangers ahead to electrify the home crowd.
Garand improved to 6-6-1 this season. The 24-year-old netminder has started all but one game since Igor Shesterkin was injured on Oct. 9 and declared out for the season the next day.
Woll made 24 saves,
Rangers: At Seattle on Saturday.
Flyers: At Calgary on Sunday.
