All right, so the New York Rangers are feeling the impact of their new head coach, Mike Sullivan. After a rocky start last season, there's some signs of progress as the team adjusts to his style. It's clear that he's trying to forge a new identity for the squad, and that matters a lot this early on. Then there's the defensive game that's improving too.

Under Sullivan, the Rangers have cut down their goals against significantly. Going from 2.68 goals against per 60 minutes to 2.36 is nothing to sneeze at. That kind of shift brings a lot of hope. Also, we have to keep an eye on the offensive side of things.

New acquisition, Pavel Dorofeyev hasn't found his place just yet, skating on the third line. But with the solid game plan, it looks like the pieces are starting to come together. Execution will be key for the Rangers moving forward. Now, goalie Dylan Garand is stepping up in Igor Shesterkin's absence, and that's a big test for him. Sullivan's pointed out that the defensive lapses in front of him aren't just on the goalie. It's all about that teamwork and getting the system to click for sure. So yeah, overall, it's a mixed bag for the Rangers, but they're trending in the right direction. If they can keep tightening things up and work that aggressive style Sullivan's preaching, they could start racking up some wins. Keep watching this space, cause it could get interesting.
