Dylan Garand makes 23 saves for 1st career shutout as Rangers beat Red Wings 2-0
DETROIT (AP) — New York Rangers' goaltender Dylan Garand made 23 saves in his first career shutout and helped the Rangers defeat the Detroit Red Wings 2-0 on Friday. Garand, who started his first game after a successful stretch of three appearances last season, faced the Red Wings, who began the season without two key players: former captain Dylan Larkin (due to injury) and restricted free agent Simon Edvinsson (still unsigned).
Larkin, wearing street clothes, drew boos during pregame introductions, while some fans even chanted "Sell the team!" upon seeing Durzi score the first goal. The Rangers took advantage of Garand's stellar performance and his team's pressure, scoring the first goal at 5:12 through Sean Durzi's power-play conversion. The Red Wings' Eeli Tolvanen scored the second goal with just 1:16 left on the clock.
