Garand stops 27 for first NHL win as Rangers down Blackhawks 6-1

NEW YORK (AP) --- Jonny Brodzinski scored twice, Adam Sykora scored his first
goal and Dylan Garand made 27 saves for his first NHL win as the New York
Rangers downed the Chicago Blackhawks 6-1 on Friday night.
J.T. Miller, Matthew Robertson and Alexis Lafreniere also scored as the Rangers
snapped a six-game losing streak.
The 23-year-old Garand, who made his debut Sunday at home against Winnipeg, a
3-2 shootout loss, allowed only a goal by Chicago's Nick Lardis late in the
first period.
Chicago has lost four of its last five.
Lardis finished off a passing play with Tyler Bertuzzi and Alex Vlasic late in
the first. But Miller tied it less than a minute later with his 15th goal of
the season.
Sykora, who debuted in Wednesday's 4-3 loss at Toronto, beat Blackhawks
goaltender Arvid Soderblom cleanly at 8:20 of the second. The 21-year-old
Sykora was a second-round pick in 2022.
Brodzinski scored 16:07 into the second period, then added his second of the
game with 4 minutes left.
The victory was just New York's fifth home win in regulation. New York is
10-18-7 at the Garden.
Defenseman Drew Fortescue also made his Rangers debut. The 20-year-old
defensemen --- a third-round pick in 2023 ---- assisted on Brodzinski's second
goal.
Soderblom made 33 saves.
