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.

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.

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

The marquee matchup of the week in NCAA Hockey pitted a pair of New York Rangers prospects facing off against one another, when Ty Henricks and the defending national champion Western Michigan Broncos skated against the Michigan Wolverines, featuring 2025 second-round pick Malcolm Spence.

Nazem Kadri, Kevin Bahl and Yegor Sharangovich also scored for the Flames, who scored more than three goals for the first time this season and got their second win in 10 games (2-7-1). Mikael Backlund had two assists and Dustin Wolf made 29 saves.
