Rangers fall 1-0 to Washington as Quick delivers a veteran, sharp showing in goal while Lindgren shuts the door for the Caps. New York’s defense looks steadier, but lack of secondary scoring and Trocheck’s absence sting the offense. Robertson debuts with solid minutes amid a makeshift blue-line rotation, Rempe delivers a highlight hit on Wilson, and the skaters show promising chemistry on new lines. A brutal slate—Oilers, Leafs, Canadiens, Wild—tests the depth and resilience of this early-season squad.
