The New York Rangers have had an up-and-down start to the 2025-26 season.
On the one hand, the offense can’t seem to buy a goal. New York’s 1.83 goals per game (11 in six games) is next-to-last in the NHL. The Blueshirts have taken an NHL-high 182 shots entering Saturday’s game against the Canadiens in Montreal, but their 6.0 shooting percentage is dead last in the League (the Calgary Flames are next-to-last at 7.6 percent).
Juuso Parssinen’s deflection goal in the third period against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday snapped an eight-period scoreless drought for the Rangers.
