Dylan Garand makes 23 saves for 1st career shutout as Rangers beat Red Wings 2-0

Dylan Garand stopped twenty-three shots to secure his first career shutout, leading the New York Rangers to a two-zero triumph over the Detroit Red Wings in their season opener on Friday. Sean Durzi opened the scoring with a power-play goal in the first period, and Eeli Tolvanen sealed the victory with an empty-netter late in the game, while John Gibson made nineteen saves for Detroit.

The contest unfolded as the Rangers played their third match of the young campaign and second on consecutive days following a previous victory against Tampa Bay. Meanwhile, the Red Wings played without injured former captain Dylan Larkin and unsigned restricted free agent Simon Edvinsson.
