Dylan Garand made 27 saves for his first NHL win and a trio of young players stole the show as the New York Rangers defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 6-1 at Madison Square Garden on Friday.
Garand, Adam Sykora and Drew Fortescue were all named the three stars of the game after none of the three were on the roster a week ago.
“This is something I will remember for the rest of my life,” Garand said. “It was very special.”
Garand made several key stops, including a glove save on Connor Bedard in the first period and a blocker stop on a breakaway by Landon Slaggert late in the third period. It was his second NHL start after stopping 35 shots in a shootout loss to Winnipeg on March 22.
Rangers coach Mike Sullivan said Garand was impressive in both starts.
“I thought he looked really solid there,” Sullivan said. “I know how hard he has worked to get to this point.”
Sykora scored his first NHL goal with a wrist shot during a 2-on-1 play in the second period.
“I saw a spot under the blocker and I just tried to shoot at it,” Sykora said. “I enjoyed the moment and hope I get more out of it.”
Fortescue, a 20-year-old defenseman making his NHL debut, received an assist after 17:23 minutes of ice time.
“They all came up to me and said something,” Fortescue said. “That’s pretty cool.”
JT Miller had a goal and two assists, and Jonny Brodzinski scored two goals for New York, ending their six-game losing streak. Alexis Lafreniere scored a power play goal in the third period.
Nick Lardis scored the second wild card in the Western Conference for Chicago, which has lost six of its last eight games and remains 10 points behind Nashville. Arvid Soderblom stopped 33 shots.
The Blackhawks had seven rookies in the lineup and went down 16-4 in the second period after holding their own in the first period.
“We got off to a pretty good start, we were in the game,” forward Tyler Bertuzzi said. “Something changed in the second and third rounds and we just didn’t play our game.”
Sykora became the sixth Rangers player to score his first career NHL goal this season.
PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
