With the home record much improved from last season, the Rangers took a complete nose dive in their road games, slowly giving up the lead in the Metropolitan Division. With a heavier workload than he's ever been tasked with, Garand has struggled and his most recent help has also encountered more injury luck, with James Reimer being sidelined almost as soon as he came aboard. The Rangers do get a little schedule luck, with just two games over the next week, so hopefully they'll be able to rest up in the coming days and regain their early season magic.

If you told me at the end of last season that the Rangers would be 7-3-1 to start the year with a perfect home record in their first 6 games, I would have signed on the dotted line. A lot can be made of them having a blunder to the Devils, and failing to score in the following game against Columbus, but there were always going to be growing pains. The reality is, when the Rangers are playing well, they truly look like a fantastic team. With the season already more than 1/8th of the way through, we're starting to see chemistry forming in a way that looked impossible just a few months ago.

After the devastating loss of Igor Shesterkin, the team has come back in an inspiring way, winning by a combined scored of 10-3 in their last two games, extending their home record to 5-0 in an undefeated run at MSG, and giving fans a reason to believe everything will be alright. Dylan Garand deserves a lot of credit, but a huge part of that success is the team in front of him and their willingness to put down the tissue box, and lace up their skates. They've built an identity, and been rewarded for their efforts. Now, can the New York Rangers take advantage of their schedule in the coming weeks and start making deposits in the standings to pay them dividends as the season grows on?
