An entertaining, back-and-forth affair ended 97 seconds into overtime when Lafreniere buried a rebound chance following a sprawling Markstrom save.

It was a wild finish to a game that featured all kinds of thunderous body checks and a trio of fights.

Chytil continued his hot streak when he opened the scoring at the 5:37 mark of the first by using his wheels to lead a two-on-one rush and burying a shot from the right circle.

Coleman replied five minutes later when he pounced on a loose puck for his 11th goal of the season.

Chytil put the Rangers ahead a second time at 2:02 of the second period. He intercepted a pass and sped away for a breakaway, which he finished with a snap shot from the slot for his 18th marker of the season and sixth in a four-game streak.

Toffoli's power-play goal with 3:35 remaining in the second period -- a perfect shot from the left dot off the post and in for his 19th goal of the campaign -- again tied the clash.

After Zibanejad's power-play goal with 14 seconds remaining in the second frame put the Rangers ahead a third time, Mangiapane's controversial goal tied the game at 6:38 of the third period. Mangiapane used his skate to redirect a shot into the cage. Following a lengthy review, the score stood.

Stone gave the Flames their first lead of the night just over two minutes later when he unloaded a rocket of a point shot for his fifth of the campaign.

Zibanejad's second goal of the game -- and 24th of the season -- set up by Panarin made it a 4-4 game with 7:05 remaining in regulation.

New York won for the third time in four games. Calgary fell to 3-1-1 in its past five.
