Rangers stay unbeaten at home with 5-2 win over Ducks

The New York Rangers are off to a historic start at home this season, extending their unbeaten streak to six games with a 5-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Monday night. Dylan Garand, filling in for injured franchise goaltender Igor Shesterkin, made 29 saves and has been a stabilizing force, allowing two or fewer goals in nine of his last ten NHL appearances.

The Rangers’ offensive firepower was on full display early, with Sean Durzi scoring just 78 seconds into the game—a trend that has seen New York net a goal within the first two minutes of three consecutive home contests, a feat last achieved in 1989. Oliver Bjorkstrand led the scoring with two goals, while captain J.T.

Miller, Gabe Perreault, and Alexis Lafrenière also contributed, though Pavel Dorofeyev remained without a goal despite multiple scoring chances. The turnaround for the Rangers, who struggled last season with a 14-27 home record and missed the playoffs, has sparked optimism despite Shesterkin’s season-ending absence.
