NEW YORK — Mika Zibanejad’s wrist shot from the top of the left faceoff circle broke a 4-4 tie with 5:49 remaining and the New York Rangers rallied with four goals in the third period to catch and overtake the Golden Knights, 6-4, Tuesday at Madison Square Garden.
The Knights (8-3) lost consecutive games for the first time in their brief history after starting with an 8-1 record.
They had a 4-2 lead going into the final period but the Rangers responded with four unanswered goals, two on the power play, to get back into it and hung on for the win as Michael Grabner scored an empty-net goal with 1:14 remaining to seal it.
