By JOHN COON SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Nick DeSimone scored the tiebreaking goal 7: 32 into the third period and the Utah Mammoth beat the scuffling New York Rangers 3-2 on Saturday night to snap a four-game losing streak. JJ Peterka and Clayton Keller also scored for the Mammoth, who overcame a 2-1 deficit in their seventh comeback victory this season. Karel Vejmelka made 20 saves. Vladislav Gavrikov and Artemi Panarin scored for the Rangers, who have lost four consecutive games all in regulation and three by one goal. They finished 0-3 on their Western Conference road swing. Jonathan Quick stopped 31 shots in a terrific performance for New York. DeSimone scored unassisted off a deflection for his second goal this season and first game-winner. Utah struck first on Peterka’s goal at the 10: 08 of the first period. Peterka poked in the puck with his stick from behind Quick’s skate. Gavrikov tied it at 15: 19 when Adam Fox’s pass redirected off the shaft of his stick. Panarin gave the Rangers the lead at 8: 07 of the second when he scored on a breakaway, with the puck squeezing through Vejmelka and dribbling across the goal line after he initially made the stop. Keller pulled the Mammoth even following a takeaway by Kailer Yamamoto, snapping the puck over Quick from close range at 11: 15. DeSimone fired a slap shot off the shin pad of a Rangers player to put Utah ahead. Up next Rangers: Host the St. Louis Blues on Monday night. Mammoth: Host the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday night. ___.
