Pavel Dorofeyev earns first big Rangers moment with key goal in win

Pavel Dorofeyev scored a game-tying power-play goal to help the New York Rangers secure a 3-2 comeback victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night at Madison Square Garden. The goal provided Dorofeyev his first major highlight with the club after a snakebitten start to his tenure spanning 17 games. Tye Kartye subsequently scored the game-winner off the rush with 4:39 remaining in regulation.

The victory marked the Rangers' first comeback win of the season, overcoming a 2-1 deficit after Philadelphia goals from Simon Benoit and Noel Acciari followed an early Rangers goal deflected by Gabe Perreault. Rangers head coach Mike Sullivan noted he consulted former Vegas coach John Tortorella to help Dorofeyev adjust to the lineup, while rookie goaltender Dylan Garand earned the win in his 12th consecutive start.
