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.

Jamie Benn scored on a power play 2:17 into overtime and the Dallas Stars rallied from an early three-goal deficit to defeat the struggling New York Rangers 5-4 on Tuesday night. Jake Oettinger made 21 saves and Dallas defenseman Thomas Harley had a goal and two assists.

After allowing three goals in the first 12 minutes of the hockey game, the Dallas Stars (25-13-1) rallied to beat the New York Rangers (18-20-2) 5-4 in overtime.

Harley’s snap shot tied it 4-all at 17:21 of the third period following a terrible turnover by Rangers defenseman K’Andre Miller deep in his own end. Benn’s 11th goal came with Artemi Panarin in the penalty box for hooking and gave the Stars their only lead.

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.
