Nick DeSimone scored the tiebreaking goal on a fortuitous bounce with 12:28 remaining in the third period, and the Utah Mammoth snapped a four-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the New York Rangers on Saturday night in Salt Lake City.

Utah snapped its longest streak of the season and won for the third time in 12 games (3-6-3) since starting 8-2-0 thanks to DeSimone's fifth goal.

The Rangers were unable to clear as defenseman Matthew Robertson flailed at the puck near the red line. DeSimone gained possession above the left circle and his shot banked off Taylor Raddysh's leg and by goalie Jonathan Quick.

JJ Peterka scored in the first period, and Clayton Keller scored a tying goal in the second as Utah capitalized on mistakes by the Rangers.
