It's October 7th. Okay, big one for the New York Islanders last night. They faced off against the New York Rangers and ended up losing 5-2.

Although it sounds like a blowout, it was actually pretty close at 3-2 until Alexis Lafreniere scored two empty netters to seal the deal for the Rangers. Something to keep an eye on is Alexander Romanov, who left the game with an undisclosed injury. He's still under evaluation, and we should get an update on him today.

Definitely hope he's back soon when you think about the team's depth. But the real headline is Semyon Varlamov making his return after 676 days away from the ice. After going through partial double knee replacement surgery, it's pretty wild he got back to start a game. The dude was just enjoying the moment, even if the result wasn't what they wanted. Varlamov had a rocky start, giving up the first goal on the first shot against him. But he rebounded nicely, making several big glove saves to keep his team in it. His calm in the net was crucial, especially when the Rangers were firing off high-danger shots. Next up, the Islanders are home for three games before hitting the road to face the Ottawa Senators and the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Looks like Varlamov might get another shot in one of those games, which would be something to see.

That wraps New York Rangers News Today brought to you with AI. I'm Corey with the story.
