In a New York Second

The Rangers' game against Dallas on Thursday night at Madison Square Garden was the 6,685th regular season game the franchise has played.
It turned out to be just the fourth time in their 96-season history that the Blueshirts scored a game-tying goal in the final second of regulation, as K'Andre Miller's goal sent The World's Most Famous Arena into a frenzy and helped the Rangers earn a 2-1 overtime win that still has fans buzzing a day later.
Here is a look at the rare company Miller joined with his last-second goal.

Doug Robinson - February 21, 1965 vs. Montreal
Doug Robinson joined the Rangers on February 4, 1965 as part of a seven-player trade with the Chicago Black Hawks that sent Camille Henry - one of the Rangers' most prolific goal scorers and the team's captain at the time - to Chicago. Less than three weeks into his Rangers' tenure, Robinson, who had only scored four career NHL goals prior to February 21, 1965, became the first Ranger to score a game-tying goal in the final second of regulation.
The Rangers were playing the Montreal Canadiens, the eventual Stanley Cup Champions, at MSG. The Blueshirts, in the midst of a down season, had lost four straight games and eight of their previous nine games, and were trailing Montreal, 2-0, at the end of the second period. But with 8:46 remaining in the game, Don Marshall scored for the Rangers to cut their deficit to one. Then, as the final seconds wound down on the clock and with an extra attacker on the ice for the Rangers, Robinson deflected a point shot from Rod Seiling past Montreal goaltender Charlie Hodge.
With one second remaining on the clock, the 15,925 fans at the 'Old Garden' erupted with joy. At the time, the NHL did not have a five-minute overtime period when games were tied at the end of regulation, so shortly after Robinson's goal was scored, Rangers fans left the game happy that they saw their team rally and earn a point against Montreal.
Darren Turcotte - February 17, 1992 vs. Vancouver
The Rangers' 1991-92 season featured several iconic moments and performances. Mark Messier won the Hart Trophy as the NHL's Most Valuable Player, Brian Leetch won the Norris Trophy as the NHL's Best Defenseman and eclipsed the 100-point plateau, Mike Gartner reached four individual milestones (500th career NHL goal, 500th career NHL assist, 1,000th career NHL point, and 1,000th career NHL game), and the team won the Presidents' Trophy for having the best regular season record in the NHL.
That Rangers team showed throughout the season that they were never out of a game - they tied for the NHL lead with 22 comeback wins during the season. The night of February 17, 1992 was no exception.
The Blueshirts hosted the Vancouver Canucks at MSG and opened the scoring on a power play goal from Leetch in the first period. The Canucks took a 2-1 lead before the end of the first period on goals from Pavel Bure and Greg Adams. In the second period, with the Canucks still leading 2-1, Bure was awarded a penalty shot. Bure was unable to score on the penalty shot attempt - sound familiar, Rangers fans? - although the Rangers goaltender in net for this attempt was John Vanbiesbrouck, and not Mike Richter (as it would be for Bure's penalty shot two years later).
James Patrick tied for the game with the Rangers with a power play goal early in the third period, but Bure scored his second goal of the game midway through the third period to put the Canucks back ahead by one goal. But late in the third period, Canucks defenseman Gerald Diduck received a major penalty for checking from behind, giving the Rangers a five-minute power play opportunity.
With Vanbiesbrouck on the bench, the Rangers had a six-on-four man advantage to try and tie the game. With the clock ticking down, Gartner took a shot that was initially stopped by Canucks goaltender Kirk McLean. The rebound led to a mad scramble, one which ended when Darren Turcotte, who would finish the season with 30 goals for the Rangers, ultimately knocked the puck over McLean and into the net.
When the puck entered the net, the clock read :00.5.
The game ultimately ended in a 3-3 tie, and the Rangers had a found a way to create a magical moment in a season that was full of them.
Brian Leetch - December 1, 1998 vs. Florida
If you were to look through all of the categories that exist in the Rangers' record book, it is more likely than not that you will find Brian Leetch's name. So, it is not a surprise that Leetch is among the rare group of Rangers who have scored a game-tying goal in the final second of regulation.
The Rangers' contest against Florida on December 1, 1998 featured several comebacks. After the Panthers took a 2-0 lead in the first period, the Rangers were able to tie the game in the second period on goals from Wayne Gretzky and John MacLean. Florida took a 3-2 lead before the end of the second period, but Adam Graves scored a power play goal early in the third period to tie the game again. The Panthers, however, scored less than three minutes after Graves' goal to retake the lead and force the Rangers to have to come back again.
With less than two minutes to play in regulation, Esa Tikkanen took a high-sticking penalty to put the Rangers shorthanded. Although the Rangers were on the penalty kill, Florida's Robert Svehla hooked Leetch to end the Panthers' power play and put the teams at 4-on-4 with 18.3 seconds remaining in regulation.
With Mike Richter pulled for an extra skater, the Rangers had a 5-on-4 advantage. In the waning seconds, Gretzky took a shot from the right wing boards just inside the blue line. The shot never made its way to the net, but caromed to Leetch, who was standing all alone by the left circle near the net (reminiscent of his goal in Game 7 of the 1994 Stanley Cup Final). With Panthers goaltender Sean Burke out of position as he braced for Gretzky's initial shot, Leetch put it into the vacated net before the buzzer sounded to tie the game.
In overtime, the Rangers controlled the majority of the play and although they were unable to convert on their power play opportunity, they ultimately won the game at 2:10 of overtime when Graves took Todd Harvey's pass from behind the net and beat Burke with a one-time shot from the bottom of the left circle.
K'Andre Miller - January 12, 2023 vs. Dallas
Which brings us back to Miller's goal from Thursday night, one that embodies the Rangers' "No Quit in New York" slogan and created a memory for everyone who was fortunate to witness it.
