A 5-1 beating of the Sabres puts the New York Rangers 1-0-0 to kick off the 2023/24 NHL season.
3 point performances by Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad, along with a 1-1 goal-assist night from Panarin speaks volumes against a Buffalo Sabres team that’s expected to be a playoff contender.
Goaltender Igor Shesterkin also hit a career milestone as the Moscow native joins the 100 win club. His 25-save effort ranks 8th all-time in Rangers’ franchise history.
