NEW YORK (AP) — Brady Skjei used overtime to redeem an earlier mistake and give Rangers coach David Quinn his first NHL victory.Skjei buried a wrist shot 37 seconds into overtime to lift New York over the San Jose Sharks 3-2 on Thursday night.“With three-on-three and his skating he’s going to be a threat http://www.officialislanders.com/authentic-adidas-mathew-barzal-jersey ,” Quinn said of Skjei. “It was a heck of a goal, that’s for sure.”Marcus Sorensen beat Skjei on his way to a short-handed goal for San Jose in the first period. Sorenson worked around Skjei with a nifty move and snapped a shot past Henrik Lundqvist’s glove at 4:31.That had Skjei looking to make amends.“You want to play with urgency all the time,” Skjei said. “We knew we needed to get one here quick. We did. Now we are ready to move on to Saturday.”New York’s Brendan Smith tied it at 2 with 2:39 remaining in the third with a one-timer from the slot. Pavel Buchnevich set it up with a backhand pass from behind the net.Aaron Dell made 24 saves and Brent Burns had two assists for the Sharks. Joonas Donskoi also scored in San Jose’s third stop of a four-game trip.Lundqvist stopped 41 shots and Brett Howden also scored for the Rangers.“I don’t know if we deserve it, but sometimes you just have to find a way,” Lundqvist said. “I think that sometimes more important than playing well.”Howden had a highlight-reel goal to even the score at 1 at 13:52 of the opening period when he put the puck between his legs and then Dell’s legs. The rookie moved up the depth chart prior to the game and skated alongside Chris Kreider and Mats Zuccarello. New York acquired Howden from the Tampa Bay Lightning at last year’s trade deadline as part of a package for defenseman Ryan McDonagh.“He’s impressed me since the first time I met him when training camp started,” Quinn said of the rookie. “I am not surprised by what he’s doing and how much confidence he’s gained from game to game. There’s no nonsense to his game in addition to having great skill. That’s a big component to having success at this level.”Burns helped the Sharks take a 2-1 lead at 4:59 of the second when he cleared the puck from his own end, setting up an odd-man rush. Antti Suomela delivered a perfect cross-ice pass to set up a tap-in for Donskoi.“I think it is pretty clear that we played a good hockey game,” Sharks coach Peter DeBoer said. “We didn’t give them much and I thought we created a lot. You have to tip your hat to Lundqvist, great goalie and that was a great effort by him to keep them in it through forty minutes.”Quinn became the second coach in Rangers history to join the franchise with NCAA experience, along with Herb Brooks. In Brooks’ inaugural 1981 season, it took the Rangers four games to capture their first victory.“We didn’t play our best hockey tonight http://www.officialislanders.com/authentic-adidas-nick-leddy-jersey , that’s for sure,” Quinn said. “We know we have got a lot of steps to go. Knowing that we could win, getting that first win under our belt is huge, and we’re ready to keep going from here.”NOTES: New York Rangers defenseman Neal Pionk was scratched for the first time in his young NHL career. … Fredrik Claesson made his season debut for the Rangers. .

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — On a night when they didn’t necessarily play their best game, the San Jose Sharks found a way to rise to the occasion.Timo Meier scored two goals, Logan Couture had two assists and San Jose defeated the Dallas Stars 3-2 Thursday.After totaling 10 goals in their previous two games, the Sharks were scoreless for the first 36:20.“I didn’t think we started great Nick Foligno Jersey ,” coach Pete DeBoer said. “You have to give (the Stars) some credit. I thought they played a very good game for back-to-back games. I thought they were tight and didn’t give us a lot of room.“I think as the season goes on and you travel, some nights you feel better than others, and tonight was a night where I thought we were off a little, but we battled and found a way to win.”Meier’s 17th and 18th goals sent the Sharks to their third straight win and fifth in six games. Meier has four goals in his last two games and 10 points (five goals, five assists) in his past six contests.Joe Thornton also scored and Martin Jones made 20 saves for the Sharks.A fortuitous bounce figured prominently in Thornton’s goal, with the puck caroming off a shin pad in front.“Yeah, just one of those where it just pops out and there was an open net,” Thornton said. “Just good fortune, I guess.”San Jose prevented a three-game season series sweep by Dallas, which had won three straight and six of seven against the Sharks. Dallas has lost three in a row overall after winning its previous four.“I thought tonight we played a really hard game,” Stars forward Blake Comeau said. “We played in a tough building against a really good team on a back-to-back . but it’s a results-based league. It’s disappointing we didn’t get the win Authentic Oliver Bjorkstrand Jersey , but that being said, I thought we did a lot better job tonight than we did in Anaheim and that’s a good step moving forward.”Meier scored at 2:50 of the third period to break a 1-all tie.

They get that shot off a shin pad that goes to Thornton on a back door . we didn’t get that bounce.”NOTES: Thornton was in the lineup after missing Wednesday’s practice and Thursday’s optional skate with an undisclosed injury. … Couture has 11 points (two goals, nine assists) in his last nine games. … Stars D Gavin Bayreuther was a healthy scratch. … Stars C Martin Hanzal was a scratch after playing three straight games, his first action since undergoing spinal fusion surgery in April. … Dallas didn’t hold a morning skate after playing in Anaheim on Wednesday night. … The Sharks had five shots on goal and the Stars three in the first period.UP NEXTStars: Wrap up four-game road trip Saturday in Colorado.Sharks: Play at Chicago on Sunday.
