Ahead of Tuesday night’s 2-0 win over the Canucks, Rangers head coach Mike Sullivan made some lineup changes that opted for more veterans over youth.

The Rangers improved to 4-1-1 on the road this season and extended their point streak to five-consecutive games on the road against the Canucks. New York’s nine road points are tied for the second most among all teams.

Many of the underlying analytics so far this season have not been pretty, but a few indicate better results may be around the corner.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse, it did. The Vancouver Canucks’ points leader on the season, Conor Garland, left today’s game against the New York Rangers. Before leaving the game, Garland logged 15:30 minutes played and had two shots on goal.

Done, and done. Mika Zibanejad’s goal late in the first period gave the Rangers the early lead and backup goaltender Jonau0007than Quick made 23 saves to post his 64th career shutout as the Rangers beat the Canucks, 2-0, at Rogers Arena, to snap their three-game losing streak and even their four-game Western Canada/Seattle trip at 1-1.

NHL expert Frank Seravalli has claimed that Artemi Panarin would be a potential trade target of the Carolina Hurricanes.

The Carolina Hurricanes started the season red hot, winning their first five straight before suffering their first loss. Since that start, they are 1-2-0.

The New York Rangers have opened the new NHL season off fairly slowly, and things have looked a little bleak to start. Even with a coaching change this summer,
