The Rangers faced off against the Maple Leafs Wednesday night in Toronto. Local kid and 2020 second round pick Will Cuylle made his NHL debut for the Rangers.
When he imagined making his debut, he probably didn’t anticipate being on ice for a goal against his first shift, but that’s just what happened. A complete collapse of the Ranger’s defensive structure allowed Toronto to rush up ice, resulting in Pontus Holmberg getting a step on Ben Harpur and beating Igor Shesterkin for an early goal. Neither team scored again for the rest of the period, though each team had a couple chances.
