The New York Rangers finally scored some goals on home ice at Madison Square Garden, but it didn’t matter, as they suffered an 6-5 overtime loss to the San Jose Sharks on Thursday night.

Adam Gaudette and Macklin Celebrini both scored early first-period goals at Madison Square Garden, with Celebrini’s goal at the 6:17 mark giving the Sharks a two-goal lead. Just before Celebrini’s goal, Sharks winger Ryan Reaves and Rangers forward Matt Rempe renewed acquaintances in a marquee fight between two of the NHL’s true heavyweights.

The New York Rangers kick off a four-game road trip Sunday against the Calgary Flames with their season already at a crossroads. The floundering Rangers have managed just one win in their last six games and are coming off a dispiriting 6-5 overtime loss to the San Jose Sharks on Thursday.

Rangers coach MIke Sullivan hopes his team wakes up after losing to the Sharks at home. It was San Jose's first win of the season.
