We’re mail-bagging here, answering questions as the Rangers established franchise history by sweeping a road trip of at least five games with Monday night’s win in Winnipeg.
The first four victories had come in Seattle, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver, the final trio marking the Blueshirts’ first sweep of western Canada since the 2017-18 club did it in the first three games following the deadline purge in which captain Ryan McDonagh, Rick Nash, J.T. Miller and Michael Grabner (plus) were sent away in the wake of The Letter.
The Remnants of the Rangers went into Vancouver and won 6-5 in overtime with Henrik Lundqvist making 50 saves.
Two nights later, The King celebrated his 36th birthday by becoming the first goaltender to record consecutive victories with 50 saves or more since the NHL began tracking the stat in 1955 with a 50-save, 3-1 triumph in Calgary.
