Colorado Avalanche vs. Philadelphia Flyers - NHL Game Recap - October 19, 2026 - CBS Sports

Bjorkstrand scores twice for New York, which is 6-0-0 at Madison Square Garden NEW YORK -- The New York Rangers stayed perfect at home this season by defeating the Anaheim Ducks 5-2 at Madison Square Garden on Monday.

NEW YORK (AP) Sean Durzi scored 78 seconds in, Dylan Garand made 29 saves and the New York Rangers defeated the travel-weary Anaheim Ducks 5-2 on Monday night to improve to 6-0-0 at home this fall. The Rangers did not pick up their sixth victory at Madison Square Garden last season until Jan. 26, their 23rd game there. They lost 27 of 41 at home on the way to missing the playoffs and finishing last in the Eastern Conference. There is hope of a turnaround given this start, even missing franchise goaltender Igor Shesterkin for the rest of the season. Garand was making a fifth consecutive start since Shesterkin went down, and he has allowed two or fewer goals in nine of 10 NHL appearances dating to his debut last spring. He got support early and often, with Durzi's goal making it three home games in a row where the Rangers have a goal in the first two minutes. That has only happened once before for New York, in March 1989. Oliver Bjorkstrand scored twice, captain J. T. Miller and Gabe Perreault each had a goal and Alexis Lafrenière recorded two assists.

New Zealander Stephen Fleming, England's new Test coach, has suggested the national team should be led by someone from England. Fleming, who will take charge of his first series in South Africa in December, is the latest overseas coach to lead the England men's team. Since 1999, only two Englishmen - Peter Moores (twice) and Chris Silverwood - have been in charge of the Test side, while Ashley Giles had a spell as white-ball coach. In the same time period England have been led by two Zimbabweans, in Duncan Fletcher and Andy Flower, and Australian Trevor Bayliss - while Fleming has succeeded his fellow Kiwi Brendon McCullum, who remains white-ball coach. Another Australian, Matthew Mott, also had time in charge of the white-ball team. Fleming's backroom team, announced last week, is heavily weighted towards homegrown coaches. Former England opener Marcus Trescothick, who was in interim charge of the Test team earlier this year, is joined by ex-England wicketkeeper James Foster and former spinner Richard Dawson. Jonathan Trott, an Ashes winner with England, is about to begin a spell in charge of England Lions.

Elias Pettersson is making a name for himself. The Vancouver Canucks defenceman may share a name with one of the Canucks’ biggest stars, but he’s imposing his own identity on the ice early in the 2026-27 season. Call him “Junior,” “D-Petey,” or even “Ser Duncan the Tall” — either way, opposing players have no choice but to learn his name, typically by looking at the back of his jersey after he’s crushed them into the boards.
