The Rangers registered the 27th comeback win of the season and matched a franchise record for total victories in a single campaign, a mark they first set in 2014-15 (53-22-7, 113 points).
The win maintained a five-point lead over Carolina for first place in the Metropolitan Division, leaving the Rangers four points away from clinching their first division title since 2014-15.
They also moved three points ahead of the Boston Bruins in the race to win the Presidents Trophy for best regular-season record in the NHL.
