Sean Durzi scored 78 seconds in, Dylan Garand made 29 saves and the New York Rangers defeated the travel-weary Anaheim Ducks 5-2 on Monday night to improve to 6-0-0 at home this fall.
The New York Rangers defeated the Anaheim Ducks on Monday night to improve to 6-0-0 at Madison Square Garden this season. The victory matched the second-longest season-opening home winning streak in franchise history. Defenceman Sean Durzi opened the scoring just 78 seconds into the game, helping the Rangers continue their streak of scoring first in every home matchup so far.
The strong start comes despite losing starting goaltender Igor Shesterkin to a season-ending injury. Third-string netminder Dylan Garand has stepped up in his absence, posting a 4-2-1 record with a 1.85 goals-against average and earning high praise from head coach Mike Sullivan.
