Rangers put last year’s home woes behind them by winning their first six at MSG this season

A year ago, the New York Rangers faced difficulties at home, suffering seven consecutive losses at Madison Square Garden. However, this season, they have turned their fortunes around, winning their first six games at MSG. Alexis Lafrenière, leading the team with seven goals and 13 points, acknowledged the team's struggles last year and expressed optimism about the current success.

The electric atmosphere in the arena has contributed to the Rangers' improved performance, as noted by defenseman Sean Durzi. The Rangers have dominated in every home game, scoring first in three consecutive matches and holding leads effectively. Coach Mike Sullivan emphasized the team's ability to play their game and dictate the terms, regardless of the venue.

With Igor Shesterkin, the starting goaltender, out for the season, Dylan Garand has stepped up admirably, posting a 4-2-1 record with a 1.85 goals-against average and .929 save percentage. Fans are now rallying around the team, chanting "Dylan! Dylan!" as they celebrate the team's promising start.
