ROAD GEM - The Rangers improved to 3-1-0 on the road this season as they played the second game of their season-long five game road trip. The Blueshirts tallied three goals in the win, bringing their season total on the road to 15, the third most in the NHL.

- Chris Kreider scored his team-leading fifth goal of the season and NHL-high tying third power play goal. It is Kreider’s 95th career power play goal, and now sits five away from becoming the fifth player in franchise history to reach 100 PPGs. He needs two goals to tie Andy Bathgate for the fourth most goals in team history (272).
- Artemi Panarin recorded his fifth assist of the season. Panarin has recorded a point in each
of New York’s first six games to start the season for the second straight year (also 6 GP in 2022-23).
