The New York Rangers finally scored some goals on home ice at Madison Square Garden, but it didn’t matter, as they suffered an 6-5 overtime loss to the San Jose Sharks on Thursday night.

Macklin Celebrini had his second career hat trick and set up Will Smith’s goal in overtime as part of a five-point game as the San Jose Sharks picked up their first win of the season by beating the New York Rangers 6-5.

Adam Gaudette and Macklin Celebrini both scored early first-period goals at Madison Square Garden, with Celebrini’s goal at the 6:17 mark giving the Sharks a two-goal lead. Just before Celebrini’s goal, Sharks winger Ryan Reaves and Rangers forward Matt Rempe renewed acquaintances in a marquee fight between two of the NHL’s true heavyweights.

Rangers defenseman Adam Fox did not hold back on his thoughts on New York's showing against the Sharks on Thursday.

What’s been encouraging for the Sharks is seeing Will Smith and William Eklund raise their games as well. Smith’s four-point night against the New York Rangers, capped by his goal in overtime, matched a career-high, and Eklund has four points in his last two games. He had eight shots in his first four games and 14 shots in his previous four.

The New York Rangers kick off a four-game road trip Sunday against the Calgary Flames with their season already at a crossroads. The floundering Rangers have managed just one win in their last six games and are coming off a dispiriting 6-5 overtime loss to the San Jose Sharks on Thursday.
