The New York Rangers have come out of the first rookie match against the Philadelphia Flyers with a 4-2 victory. The Rangers looked stellar in the prospect contest, taking down the Flyers with relative ease. Following this game, there are a few takeaways from key prospects.
Garand could be an elite backup for the Rangers in a few years
Perhaps the best performance of the Rangers last night came from Dylan Garand. Only allowing two goals throughout the contest, Garand put on an elite performance between the pipes. Although Igor Shesterkin will remain as the Blueshirts’ star goaltender for the foreseeable future, Garand has just proven that he is capable of making big strides in his career.
