Rangers' Vladislav Gavrikov: Plays hero in overtime
Rotowire
Gavrikov scored the game-winning goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Stars.
Gavrikov tallied 1:09 into the extra session to complete the Rangers' comeback win. The 30-year-old defenseman is poised for heavy usage in the long-term absence of Adam Fox (upper body), who is likely to miss most or all of December at a minimum. Gavrikov has six points over his last six games and a total of five goals, 12 points, 37 shots on net, 45 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating in 28 appearances this season. He's one goal away from matching his career high, and he could also push for a new high mark in points -- he'll be aiming to top the 33 he had in 2021-22 with the Blue Jackets.

Rotowire
Gavrikov distributed two assists, placed two shots on goal and blocked two attempts in Monday's 3-1 win over the Blues.
Gavrikov tallied the primary helper on the Rangers' second and third goals of the night, including Adam Edstrom's game-winner midway through the final period. With the pair of apples, Gavrikov has seven assists, 10 points, 34 shots on goal and 38 blocks through 24 games this season. The 30-year-old defenseman has been a strong secondary source of offense from the Rangers' blueline, which has helped take a large burden off Adam Fox's shoulders. Gavrikov has registered two points in each of his past two games and is averaging the second-largest amount of time on ice in his seven-year career. He's currently on pace to surpass his career high of 33 points with Columbus from the 2021-22 regular season. Between his offensive contributions and category coverage with blocks, he has solid fantasy value in deep leagues.

Rotowire

Gavrikov opened the scoring midway through the first period. The 29-year-old defenseman's tally was his first goal this season, to go with two assists across 13 contests.

Rangers' Vladislav Gavrikov: Gets on scoresheet with helper
Rotowire
Gavrikov logged an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens.
The helper came on an Artemi Panarin tally in the third period, which stood as the game-winner. Gavrikov hasn't offered much offense, though the same could be said for many of the Rangers amid a slow start to the season. In addition to his single point, he has eight shots on net, 10 blocked shots, two hits, six PIM and a plus-3 rating while skating alongside Adam Fox on the first pairing.
Gavrikov penned a seven-year, $49 million deal with the Rangers on Tuesday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.
Gavrikov managed 30 points in 82 regular-season appearances for the Kings last season, all of which came at even strength. Given his lack of power-play time, the 29-year-old blueliner's deal seems a little steep, but Gavrikov gives the Rangers a top-end shutdown defender to potentially pair with Adam Fox.
