Utah's Clayton Keller slots OT winning goal

Barret Hayton, Jack McBain, Kevin Stenlund and Dylan Guenther also scored for Utah. Connor Ingram made 29 saves.

Hayton has scored in each of Utah's three games, and Guenther has five goals.

Artemi Panarin, who led New York with 49 goals and 120 points last season, scored twice. K’Andre Miller, Braden Schneider and Will Cuylle also scored for the Rangers. Adam Fox had three assists and Igor Shesterkin finished with 19 saves.

Takeaways Utah continued its strong start after relocating to Salt Lake City from Arizona last spring. The team was formerly known as the Coyotes before the franchise moved with the same players, coaching staff and support personnel. The NHL is treating the club like a new franchise with previous records applying only to Arizona.

The Rangers lost for the third time (3-1-2) in their last six home openers.

Key moment The Rangers appeared to go ahead 3-2 at 4:54 of the second on a shot by rookie defenseman Victor Mancini but forward Matt Rempe was ruled to have interfered with Ingram. Keller scored just over a minute later as the teams played 4-on-4.

Key stat Keller, Utah’s newly named captain, has points in all three games to start the season. Utah’s Logan Cooley added an assist, his fifth in three games.

Up next The Rangers host Detroit on Monday while Utah continues their road trip at New Jersey.
