NEW YORK — Thomas Greiss delivered a standout performance as the Detroit Red Wings made their first appearance at Madison Square Garden in two years.
The Original Six rivalry against the New York Rangers resumed Thursday after being dormant for a season because of the pandemic. Greiss made 34 saves through regulation and another three in a furiously paced overtime. Pius Suter secured a 3-2 victory when he scored in the sixth round of a shootout.
