Eichel scores late in OT as Golden Knights beat Rangers 3-2

NEW YORK (AP) — Jack Eichel scored at 4:52 of overtime and the Vegas Golden Knights beat the New York Rangers 3-2 on Sunday night for their fourth straight win.

Brett Howden and Tomas Hertl also scored, and Mark Stone had two assists for the Golden Knights, who improved to 6-2-2 in their last 10 games. Carter Hart finished with 21 saves.

Mika Zibanejad and Alexis Lafreniere scored for the Rangers, who lost in overtime at home for the second straight day to fall to 3-8-3 at Madison Square Garden. Jonathan Quick had 26 saves.

After Hart denied Zibanejad to force a whistle in the Vegas end late in overtime, Eichel raced the other way following the ensuing faceoff and beat Quick for his 12th goal and the win.

Hertl forced overtime with a tying goal with 52 seconds remaining in regulation.

Lafreniere gave New York a 2-1 lead at 13:01 of the second, firing a shot past Hart for his seventh goal.

Howden, a former Ranger, scored his fifth goal just 36 seconds into the game.

Zibanejad tied it at 9:08 of the second, tapping a loose puck past Hart for his team-leading 11th. Zibanejad has 261 goals as a Ranger, one behind Vic Hadfield for sixth place on the franchise list.

Stone has 20 points in 12 games this season.

Hart was playing his second game since returning to the NHL. The 27-year-old goalie was one of five 2018 Canada world junior hockey players acquitted of sexual assault in July. He made his first appearance for Vegas last Tuesday at home, a 4-3 shootout win over Chicago.

CHICAGO (AP) — Brandin Podziemski scored 21 points off the bench, Jimmy Butler added 19 in his return to the lineup and the injury-depleted Golden State Warriors beat the Chicago Bulls 123-91 on Sunday night to extend the longest active losing streak in the NBA.

The Bulls have lost seven in a row, their most since an eight-game skid in the 2019-20 season.

Quinten Post also scored 19 points for the Warriors.

Golden State shot 22 of 47 from beyond the arc with seven players connecting from long range. Post and Podziemski each hit five 3s.

Josh Giddey scored 18 points and Matas Buzelis added 16 for the Bulls, who shot 36% from the field and were out-rebounded 51-38.

The Warriors held an opponent to under 100 points for a third straight game and limited Chicago to its fewest points in a game this season.

Butler started after missing two games (left knee), but Golden State remained without Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Al Horford. Coach Steve Kerr said trio might return Friday against Minnesota.

Buddy Hield and Post each hit a 3-pointer in the first 90 seconds and Golden State led by as many as 16 before taking a 60-46 advantage into the intermission. The Warriors hit their first four 3-point attempts and were 12 for 25 in the first half.

Golden State stretched its lead to 24-points in the third quarter. Chicago used a 17-1 run to narrow its deficit to 87-79 early in the fourth before the Warriors pulled away late.

Chicago played without four regulars: Kevin Huerter, Tre Jones, Isaac Okoro and Jalen Smith. Ayo Dosunmu started despite right thumb sprain and

Curry is expected to resume practice as soon as Wednesday as he comes back from a left quadriceps contusion and muscle strain.

Warriors: Host Minnesota on Friday.

Bulls: At Charlotte on Friday.
