The youth movement was in full effect Monday night at The Garden, and as expected, the Blueshirts must take the good with the bad.
The good? Lias Andersson, the seventh overall pick in the 2017 NHL Draft, scored a goal in his NHL debut. Filip Chytil, the 21st overall pick, registered his first point with an assist.
The bad? The Rangers lost to the Metropolitan Division-leading Washington Capitals, 4-2, though the negative was mostly confined to the first period.
