Rangers fixed last year’s home-road split problem … and now have another one

The New York Rangers have reversed their home-road splits from last season, achieving an 8-2-0 record at Madison Square Garden while struggling with a 1-5-1 mark away from home. Following Thursday's 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers, head coach Mike Sullivan's team embarks on a four-game road trip through Seattle, Edmonton, Calgary, and Vancouver to address their road scoring drop to 1.7 goals per game.

Goaltender Dylan Garand has handled most starting duties since Igor Shesterkin sustained a season-ending knee injury on October 9. Veteran goalie Joonas Korpisalo rejoined the Rangers for the upcoming road trip following a conditioning stint in the AHL with Hartford after recovering from a foot infection, while James Reimer was assigned to Hartford after clearing waivers.
