Story summary

Rangers goaltender Dylan Garand was recently pulled from a game against New Jersey after allowing four goals on 13 shots within five minutes into the second period, resulting in a 7-1 loss. This performance contrasted starkly with his earlier back-to-back wins and strong play following Igor Shesterkin's season-ending injury. Despite Garand’s initial success, including stopping 44 of 47 shots in his first two starts, the team struggled without their former Vezina Trophy winner. Rangers head coach Mike Sullivan expressed confidence that Garand would bounce back, noting his competitive nature and high character. Following this setback, Garand responded with 28 saves in a 1-0 overtime loss to Columbus on Saturday.
