It's October 19th. Okay, big one for the New York Rangers as they wrap up their first 10 games of the season with a 6-3-1 record. That's a solid start, especially since they aim to improve from last year's performance. But it hasn't all been sunshine and rainbows. Injuries have been a big deal early on, with Igor Shesterkin out for the season, and Junas Corpusalo and Joe Valino also facing challenges. The loss of Shesterkin definitely stings. Now, let's talk home versus road splits.

The Rangers are perfect at home with a 5-0 record and averaging 4.8 goals per game, which is huge. But they're struggling on the road with a 1-3-1 record. They got to find a way to generate more offense away from Madison Square Garden for sure. On a brighter note, Dylan Garand has stepped up since Shesterkin's injury. He's got a 3-2-1 record with a 1.82 goals against average and a save percentage of 9.27.

He's been looking solid overall, which is really a relief for the team.

Lastly, Alexis Lafrenière is stepping up big time. He's leading the way with 7 goals and 4 assists through these first 10 games. Being a point-per-game player is critical for the Rangers as they keep pushing forward. So yeah, there's a lot to be hopeful about as they move into the next stretch of games.
