TARRYTOWN, N.Y. (AP) — The way the New York Rangers have played early in the Mike Sullivan era wouldn’t light up a Broadway stage. It does bring the two-time Stanley Cup-winning coach some satisfaction.

A month into games with Sullivan in charge, the Rangers have been way more successful at keeping the puck out of their own net than putting it into their opponent’s. They’ve allowed the second-fewest goals a game in the NHL but have also scored the second fewest, and getting the recipe right is taking some time, as expected.
