RANGERS NOTES
KEEPING THE POINTS COMING – The Rangers have won three-straight games and each of their two games at The Garden. Through 12 periods of play this season, the Blueshirts have led or been tied after 11 of them and have allowed a goal in only four of those 12 periods. New York leads the league with six points and their 11 goals scored are the sixth-most in the NHL.
POINT STREAKS – Eeli Tolvanen extended his goal streak to three-straight games, currently the longest active streak in the league. Adam Fox and Gabe Perreault extended their point streaks to three-straight games, both tied for the longest active point streaks in the NHL (Fox: 4A, Perreault: 2G-1A). Will Cuylle, Tye Kartye and Igor Shesterkin all extended their point streaks to two-straight games (Cuylle: 2A, Kartye: 2A, Shesterkin: 1G-1A).
Igor Shesterkin has earned a win and tallied a point in back-to-back games. Notching an assist on Tolvanen’s goal, he became the third Rangers goaltender in franchise history to have notched the feat and the first since 2010-11 (Henrik Lundqvist).
Vladislav Gavrikov scored his first goal and notched his first multi-point game (1G-1A) of the season.
Mika Zibanejad tallied an assist on Perreault’s go-ahead goal. It was the 134th time he has done so with the Rangers, surpassing Mark Messier for the sixth-most in franchise history.
J.T. Miller scored his first goal of the season and Alexis Lafreniere recorded his first assist of the season.
