It's October 31st. All right, so the New York Rangers are coming off a break after a tough loss to the Los Angeles Kings. They'll be back on the ice this Sunday against the Edmonton Oilers, and that time off was probably just what they needed. Given the recent struggles, hitting the reset button is crucial. Dylan Garand has been a hot topic during this break. He's stepping in as the number one goalie with Igor Shesterkin out, and it's been a mixed bag. But the metrics show he's been either average or above average in seven of his 10 games. That's a solid effort for a 24-year-old who didn't even make the roster out of camp. Garand's record stands at four wins, five losses, and one overtime loss, with a 0.899 save percentage and a 2.69 goals against average. Not too shabby, especially considering the circumstances. He's shown he can hold his own, even if he's hit some bumps on the road lately. And don't forget, Joonas Korpisalo is on his way back, which should give Garand some much needed rest. That's going to help him a lot, especially as the season heats up. For now, he's doing his best to keep the team competitive, and that's huge for the Rangers.

So, as they gear up to face a powerhouse like Conor McDavid and the Oilers, the pressure's on, but Garand's been a decent stand-in. The whole squad's going to need to step it up, but there's potential for some exciting hockey ahead.
