LATE HEROICS – The Rangers scored a game-tying goal within the final 11 seconds of regulation and won for the fifth time in franchise history following Jan. 12, 2023, Oct. 25, 2008, Nov, 9, 2005 and Dec. 1, 1998.
Artemi Panarin established a career-long point streak of 14 games (8G-16A), tying Rod Gilbert (1972-73) for the longest to begin a season in franchise history.

Panarin has recorded multiple points in four-straight games.
Alexis Lafreniere scored two goals and the game-deciding shootout goal, including the tying tally with 11 seconds in the game.

Erik Gustafsson extended his point streak to four games (1G-5A) and reached the 10-point mark (3G-7A) on the year. His points are the second most among New York defensemen.
Mika Zibanejad skated in his 500th game as a Ranger, becoming the 38th skater in franchise history to reach the feat. Since his first season with the team in 2016-17, Zibanejad has compiled the most points (465) and assists (259) on New York while recording the second most goals (206).
