RANGERS NOTES<\/p>\n
MAKING THEIR MARK \u2013 In tonight\u2019s game, Drew Fortescue made his NHL debut, Adam Sykora scored his\u00a0first NHL goal and Dylan Garand earned his first NHL win. It is the first time since Nov. 10, 1932 that three different\u00a0Rangers each recorded such milestones in the same game.<\/p>\n
POWER PLAYERS \u2013 The Rangers have scored at least one power play goal in back-to-back games and in 11 of\u00a0their last 15 games (14 PPG). In that span, their 14 power play goals lead the league.<\/p>\n
FRIDAY NIGHT FIRSTS \u2013 Fortescue and Sykora both notched their first career NHL points (Fortescue with an\u00a0assist and Sykora with a goal), and Jaroslav Chmelar notched his first career NHL assist. Sykora became the sixth\u00a0Rangers player this season to score their first career goal.<\/p>\n
SCORING HIGH \u2013 New York registered six goals in a game for the 10th time this season, tied for the third-most games\u00a0among all NHL teams. They have registered at least three goals in back-to-back games and in 12 of their last 14 games.<\/p>\n
Alexis Lafreniere notched his eighth power play goal of the season and has scored a power play goal in back-to-back games. He ranks second on the Rangers this season in goals (22) and since Mar. 2, his nine goals are tied for the most in the NHL.<\/p>\n
Dylan Garand has helped the Rangers earn points in each of his two career NHL games (1-0-1) and became the\u00a0second Rangers goaltender in the past decade to start their career with a point in each of their first two games (last\u00a0Shesterkin, 2019-20).<\/p>\n
Adam Fox collected an assist on Lafreniere\u2019s goal and has 12 points (1G-11A) over his last 13 games. He leads all\u00a0Rangers defensemen this season in assists (35) and points (39). Since Mar. 5, his 11 assists are tied for the most in the\u00a0league among all NHL blueliners.<\/p>\n
Jonny Brodzinski registered his third career multi-goal game and first of the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"RANGERS NOTES MAKING THEIR MARK \u2013 In tonight\u2019s game, Drew Fortescue made his NHL debut, Adam Sykora scored…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":569161,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":["post-569160","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/569160","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=569160"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/569160\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/569161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=569160"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=569160"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=569160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
