PP2 comes through on a nice spinning pass from Perreault to set up Durzi from above the left circle. 1-0 #NYR, just 5:12 into the game. Rangers having their way so far.

@vzmercogliano · 9/30

Pavel Dorofeyev's first shot as a #NYR is saved by Jeremy Swayman. PP1 got about 1:15 of ice time on this season-opening power play, then heads back to the bench.

@vzmercogliano · 9/28

PP work under the dim lights. Units are unchanged. PP1 will open with Fox, Dorofeyev, Miller, Zibanejad and Lafrenière. #NYR https://t.co/lUDrMwpPr9

@ColinSNewsday · 9/28

PP1 looks the same: Fox-Mika-Dorofeyev-JT-Laf. PP2 looks the same, too: Durzi-Bjorktrand-Gabe-Tolvanen-Cuylle. I'm wondering how well the goalies can see the puck, though -- the lights are kinda weak.

On the Joonas Korpisalo injury, Sullivan said last night that he didn't know if it happened at practice or not. Asked today if he had any more clarity to share, he simply responded, "No." #NYR

NEW@MollieeWalkerr · 10/2

#NYR head coach Mike Sullivan didn’t have anything more to offer on Joonas Korpisalo’s injury.

NEW@MollieeWalkerr · 10/2

Asked if Joonas Korpisalo suffered his injury in practice, #NYR head coach Mike Sullivan said he didn't know. "It's a good question. I don't know the answer to that. But, obviously, he's injured. We'll see where it goes."

OVERRIDE · 10/1

IR — Lower Body

@vzmercogliano · 10/1

Joonas Korpisalo, who didnt skate this morning, is week-to-week with a lower-body injury. So #NYR are recalling Dylan Garand. This is why it was so important for him to clear waivers. Depth already being tested.

@ColinSNewsday · 10/1

The #NYR have placed G Joonas Korpisalo on injured reserve and recalled G Dylan Garand from AHL Hartford. Korpisalo is thought to be week-to-week with a lower-body injury, according to a source.

@Peter_Baugh · 10/1

Joonas Korpisalo is week-to-week with a lower-body injury. Dylan Garand is now likely to make his season debut Friday, assuming the Rangers don’t use Igor Shesterkin on both ends of the back-to-back.

NEW@Peter_Baugh · 10/2

Hilarious that eight Rangers skaters were on the ice to mob Shesterkin after that goal https://t.co/9fJUNGzzWS

@ColinSNewsday · 10/1

I spoke to Chmelar at the skate this morning. I was gonna write him, but switched and wrote Garand instead. But in case he scores tonight, here's what he said to me (that way, I can claim him later): "I didn't show the fully 100% what I got, and I wasn't really happy with myself during the during the (training) camp. I think I have more to give."

@vzmercogliano · 10/1

#NYR are having an optional skate this morning, with the following players on the ice: Chmelař, Rempe, Šmits, Robertson and Morrow.

@vzmercogliano · 9/30

If you're looking for any silver linings from this game, I thought the the Dorofeyev-Miller-Bjorkstrand line showed some encouraging signs, and the numbers back it up. High-dangers were 8-1 #NYR with them on the ice. Shot attempts were 16-8 and SOG were 11-5. 68.89% xGF. Dorofeyev had a team-high 5 SOG. He was their most threatening offensive player.
