New York Rangers left wing Chris Kreider scored two third-period goals as his team overcame a two-goal deficit for the first time this season to secure a 5-3 away win against the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday night.

Rangers have won two in a row for the first time this month.

Braden Schneider, Vincent Trocheck and Kaapo Kakko scored three unanswered goals in the second period, and Igor Shesterkin made 35 saves for the visitors.

Kevin Fiala had a goal and two assists, Gabriel Vilardi and Sean Walker, who scored his first NHL goal since May 13, 2021, also hit the target, and Cal Petersen made 20 saves for the Kings, who have lost three straight games for the first time this season.

Rangers play the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday night while Kings meet the San Jose Sharks on Friday night.
