Pregame analysis and predictions of the Colorado Avalanche vs. New York Rangers NHL game to be played on December 6, 2025 on ESPN.

NEW YORK — Vladislav Gavrikov scored just over a minute into overtime and the New York Rangers beat the Dallas Stars 3-2 on Tuesday night, ending the Stars’ four-game winning streak. Gavrikov scored for the Rangers 1:09 into overtime on a backhand shot.

Without high-scoring defenseman Adam Fox in the lineup for at least 10 games, the Rangers' already subpar offense must tread water against strong opponents to stay in the playoff race.

For the first time in more than a month, the Colorado Avalanche did not make enough good things happen to earn at least a point.

This was just the Rangers' third win at Madison Square Garden in 12 tries. "Finally, we make our fans happy,” Artemi Panarin said postgame.
