New York Rangers defeat Anaheim Ducks 5-2 to remain perfect at home

The New York Rangers maintained their undefeated home record for the 2026-27 season, defeating the Anaheim Ducks 5-2 at Madison Square Garden. The victory marks the team's sixth consecutive home win, tying the second-longest such streak in franchise history.

Sean Durzi opened the scoring just 78 seconds into the first period. Oliver Bjorkstrand led the offensive effort with two goals, while J.T. Miller, Gabe Perreault, and the power play contributed to the decisive lead. Alexis Lafrenière provided two assists during the matchup.

Goaltender Dylan Garand, stepping in following season-ending injuries to Igor Shesterkin and Joonas Korpisalo, made 29 saves to secure the win. Garand has now posted a 4-2-1 record this season, helping the Rangers climb to second in the Metropolitan Division.

The Ducks, facing significant fatigue after a long travel ordeal, managed two late goals from Nick Jensen and A.J. Greer to avoid a shutout, but were unable to overcome the early deficit.
