Rangers demolish Canadiens with seven-goal frenzy as point streak hits six games
NY Post
MONTREAL — The Rangers put the frenzy in the NHL’s Frozen Frenzy.
All 32 teams may have been in action Tuesday night, but the Blueshirts put on a performance befitting of the league’s moniker for its version of NFL Red Zone in a 7-2 demolition of the Canadiens at Bell Centre.
The Habs were overwhelmed quickly. Allowing four goals on the first 10 shots will do that.
One came after the other until suddenly nine of the Rangers’ 18 skaters were on the scoresheet halfway through the first period. Twelve of 18 was the final count.
There was no opportunity given to get back into the game. The Rangers never relented.
Crushing the opponents they’re supposed to, the Rangers have not only set a franchise record for the longest point streak to begin a season by picking up at least one in six straight contests, but they also tied the team record for the longest road winning streak to start a campaign.

Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
