Garand delivered an impressive performance despite receiving no offensive support and finished with a .966 save percentage. The 24-year-old netminder kept Columbus scoreless through regulation before surrendering the overtime winner to Kent Johnson.

Garand has looked solid to start the season, posting a 2-1-0 record, 1.20 GAA and one shutout. With Igor Shesterkin (knee) out for the season and Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) still a month from returning, the Rangers will have to turn the crease over to Garand for the time being. If he continues to perform well, Garand could secure his spot as the No. 1 option the rest of the way. |
Garand's performance is the best-case scenario for the Rangers, who lost Igor Shesterkin for the season because of a lower-body injury. The home crowd was chanting his first name by the end of the game. Garand has started two straight games and won both. Overall he's 3-1-0 with just four goals allowed in four starts.

In two appearances this season, Garand has posted a 1-1-0 record while allowing only one goal on 34 shots. With Igor Shesterkin (lower body) and Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) unavailable, the 24-year-old Garand is poised to get a significant workload boost. Despite a 2-4-0 start to the 2026-27 campaign, Vancouver has scored 22 goals in six games. |
Garand did well in his first start since Igor Shesterkin (knee) was lost for the year. The quality of the opponent is certainly a factor -- this loss dropped the Canucks to 2-5-0 on the year. Garand will get at least a short-term chance to claim the No. 1 job for the Rangers, though his performance over the next month will go a long way in determining the pecking order in goal when Joonas Korpisal |

The Rangers are playing the second half of a back-to-back set Friday, so Garand will make his season debut since Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) is on injured reserve. Across three regular-season appearances with the Rangers last year, Garand went 2-0-1 with a 1.62 GAA and .948 save percentage. |
The 24-year-old netminder made early saves, and the Rangers' defense locked things down late, with Garand facing only two shots in the third period. It was his first career shutout in just his fourth NHL game, and if he continues to shine as Igor Shesterkin's backup, New York could have a tough decision to make once Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) is cleared to return. |
