Jan Levine: Rangers rebound after poor performance to defeat Red Wings 4-1 at MSG Zib dents scoresheet

HA! Derek Lalonde not doing Drury any favors.

Better game from Mika, but as Jan said, still not perfect. Still need to see a PP snipe from the hash. When was the last time that happened?

One thing nobody has mentioned...or at least that I have seen...is that Mika is on fire in the dot so far. Winning faceoffs has always been something he needed to improve on.

He was at 52.3 in 2021-22, 49.5 in 2022-23 and 49.3 last year. Not like it was a major weakness, maybe in key spots, but overall, still solid, despite slight decline. But agree, he has been great so far in three games this season.

Someone take this old idiots phone away. Holy cow.

Small sample but this is better 5v5 play and the defense isnt fully there yet

Agreed this is a positive but also agree it's a very small sample size that shouldn't be weighed too heavily.

Carolina looks elite on this chart and they played 1 game and lost 4-1
