Goalie Dylan Garand impresses in NHL debut but Rangers fall to Jets in shootout
NY Post
It was Kids Day at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, but for the Rangers, it’s been All About The Kids for months.
Goalie Dylan Garand was informed after the AHL Wolf Pack’s game Wednesday that he would make his NHL debut in four days against the Jets at Madison Square Garden, which filled the Blueshirts lineup with at least one rookie at every position in their 3-2 shootout loss to Winnipeg on Sunday.
It was certainly a first game to remember for Garand.
The workload — 35 saves on 37 shots — resembled more of a cannon ball into the deep end than dipping his toe.
His first ever shootout opponent? Perennial 30-goal scorer Kyle Connor.
The second? Gabriel Vilardi, who already scored a power-play goal on him earlier in the game.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
