Erik Karlsson scored 49 seconds into overtime as the San Jose Sharks beat the New York Rangers 3-2 on Thursday for their first victory of the season.
Timo Meier collected a loose puck beside the Rangers’ net, circled behind, and then found an open Karlsson, who fired it into an open net past an out-of-position Igor Shesterkin for their first win of the David Quinn era.
Logan Couture and Radim Simek both scored and Sharks goalie James Reimer finished with 21 saves as the Sharks evened their record on this four-game road trip at 1-1-0.
