After a convincing 5:1 derby win over Buffalo, the team met on the road with Columbus, which looks much weaker on paper. The Rangers opened the scoring as early as 50 seconds into the game through Erik Gustafsson's efforts and seemed to destroy their opponent. In the 6th minute, Filip Chytil doubled the lead of the New York team, but the goal was canceled after video review, as well as the next goal - by Mika Zibanejad in the 11th minute. Surprisingly, the Rangers didn't score again until midway through the third period, with the Rangers eventually conceding five times. Only at the end of the game New York managed to reduce the gap, but those goals didn't solve anything - 3:5.

The Coyotes have played only one game in the new championship and won it. And, losing away to New Jersey, the team managed to take the game into overtime only six minutes before the final siren - Nick Schmaltz realized the majority and to be stronger in a shootout. 4:3 (3:3) - a promising start to the championship for one of the weakest teams of the past season.

Rangers had a bad match with Columbus, but they were unlucky in many ways - canceled goals and unrealized chances. While not looking as hopeless as they did at the start of last season, Arizona is still one of the weakest teams in the league, so the meeting with the Coyotes is a great opportunity for New York to rehabilitate. Moreover, the head-to-head statistics are in favor of the Rangers.
