Overview

  • The Garden played tribute videos for Chris Kreider and Jacob Trouba, drawing standing ovations in their first game back as Ducks.
  • Cutter Gauthier scored the go‑ahead power‑play goal 5:51 into the third and added an empty‑netter as Anaheim secured its first win at MSG since 2013.
  • Sullivan confirmed Zibanejad was scratched for a team‑rule violation tied to a missed morning meeting and said he would be available for Tuesday’s game.
  • With Adam Fox on LTIR and Zibanejad out, the Rangers reverted to Artemi Panarin at the point and elevated Will Cuylle, but the power play struggled and yielded a 5‑on‑3 shorthanded goal to Jackson LaCombe.
  • Matt Rempe was activated off LTIR and returned to the lineup, logging minutes at even strength and on the second power‑play unit.
