🔮 The Rangers — who own a 6-1 record at Madison Square Garden —will have a welcome but unusual stretch of being home for nearly two straight weeks, beginning a three-game homestand against the Oilers on Sunday, followed by visits from the Blues and Flyers.

🔮 Mikel Brown Jr.’s second career game could present him with a long-awaited matchup against his friend and mentor, Donovan Mitchell.
🔮 But then at the same time, if I feel I have to make changes because of the benefit of the group, I will.
🔮 It IS too early to know who Arch Manning will become.

Narrative

Garand, who entered the season with just three career NHL appearances, initially exceeded expectations when he stepped in for Shesterkin, going 4-1-1 in his first six starts while boasting a .929 save percentage and 1.85 goals against average. But the former fourth-round pick has allowed five goals in each of his past two starts — and two more goals Monday — as the Rangers (7-6-1) have dropped five of their past six games.
