• The Rangers will seek their sixth straight road win Tuesday night and look to remain unbeaten in Canada when they visit the Vancouver Canucks. Gallant succeeded David Quinn after last season when the Rangers struggled down the stretch of the 56-game season. After previously coaching the Columbus Blue Jackets, Florida Panthers and Vegas Golden Knights, Gallant has the Rangers at 6-2-1 through the first month of the season.

• New York’s 13 points are its most through the first month of the season since the team went 7-2-2 in the first month of the 2015-16 season after playing in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals the previous season. New York added more points on Sunday when it opened its second four-game trip of the season with a 3-1 win over the Seattle Kraken. It was New York’s fifth straight road win and gave the team five road wins in the first month of the season for the first time in team history.

• The Canucks are 0-3-0 at home after going 3-2-1 on a season-opening, six-game trip. It is their worst start at home since beginning 2015-16 with five straight home losses (0-3-2). Vancouver’s first three home losses have been by one goal. The team has allowed the first goal in each game and trailed by two goals in two of those games.

• On Saturday, the Canucks allowed two power-play goals and were seven seconds away from getting blanked before Brock Boeser scored in a 2-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers in a game coach Travis Green said was a better showing than a 2-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday and a 3-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday.
