What happened
The week opened with a 0-3 shutout in Boston and a fanbase stewing over coaching double standards. Then Tampa arrived and left in pieces, 5-1, Igor Shesterkin scored, and the subreddit dissolved into an "UPVOTE PARTY." That was the turn. Dylan Garand followed with a 2-0 shutout in Detroit — "Get waived. Come back. Get Shutout. Profit" — before a 4-2 win over Utah made it three straight. Rangers fans sound happy, which historically means something is about to break.
