Week one of the New York Rangers’ 2021-22 season is in the books and the Blueshirts finished it up with a different result in each of their first three games.
They suffered an ugly 5-1 loss to the Washington Capitals in their season-opener, then lost 3-2 to the Dallas Stars in overtime in their home opener, and ended the week on a high note by beating the Montreal Canadiens 3-1 in their first trip to Canada in over a year.
The Rangers have looked like a much better team under new head coach Gerard Gallant than they did under David Quinn not too long ago and, to go even further, have improved on a game-by-game basis, so far.
