Tony DeAngelo got himself into a rhythm Tuesday night, but his impact was not enough, as the New York Rangers fell to the Arizona Coyotes, 3-2, in overtime.

Tony DeAngelo scored his second and third goals of the season, but that was not enough to give the New York Rangers the victory, as they end up falling to the Arizona Coyotes in overtime, 3-2, on Tuesday night.

The Rangers hardly got to touch the puck in overtime, as Christian Dvorak scored on Alexander Georgiev 1:04 into the five-minute overtime period. It all started with a Nick Schmaltz face-off win against Mika Zibanejad, who quickly handed off to Jakob Chychrun and then to Dvorak who buried it past the Rangers net-minder.

The overtime does not nearly tell the story of the entire game, however.

The first period was atrocious, to put it lightly. The first 20 minutes were highlighted with Lawson Crouse‘s second goal of the season 13:06 into the first, with assists by Christian Fischer and Carl Soderberg. The most dreadful statistic of the period clearly was the shots on goal. The Rangers were outshot 21-3.

At the end of the loss, Arizona had won the shots game 35-19.

DeAngelo’s first goal of the night came 5:04 into the second period. Pavel Buchnevich moved up the wing on Darcy Kuemper’s left side, and made a quick forward pass to Brendan Lemieux right in the slot, but Lemieux couldn’t bury it past the Arizona goaltender, until DeAngelo scooped up the quick rebound to get the Rangers on the board.

Almost nine minutes later, Pavel Buchnevich was called for tripping. And on the power play, Alex Goligoski gave the ‘Yotes the lead back.

Then, the Rangers got their power play chance with a delay-of-game call on Christian Fischer. And with exactly two minutes left in the middle frame, DeAngelo buried a quick pass from Ryan Strome for his second goal of the night.

A scoreless third period sent the game into overtime in a contest that looked very grim for the home side in its first period. The Rangers outshot Arizona 12-8 in the second period, but it was the inverse in the third as Arizona won the shots game 5-3.

For 45 seconds, it seemed that the Rangers had gained momentum before the overtime. A Conor Garland giveaway forced three shots wide of Kuemper in three different parts of the ice, two of them by Ryan Strome. The last-minute pressure clearly did not carry over.

And to top it all off, DeAngelo may have scored both Ranger goals, but he was on the ice for all three of Arizona’s.
