DETROIT — Artemi Panarin contributed both a goal and an assist while Jonathan Quick made an impressive 37 saves to earn his 61st career shutout, leading the New York Rangers to a dominant 4-0 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday evening. With this triumph, the Rangers completed a clean sweep over the three-game season series against the Red Wings.

In addition to Panarin, the Rangers saw goals from Jimmy Vesey, Chris Kreider, and Reilly Smith, marking a successful stretch with three wins in their last four games. Panarin, who reached the milestone of 800 career points during New York’s recent heavy defeat to Buffalo, has managed to score or assist in 11 of his last 12 encounters against Detroit. Meanwhile, Quick recorded eight saves in the first period, followed by a remarkable 19 in the second and finished with 10 saves in the third, securing his first shutout this season out of three starts.

Ville Husso, making his first appearance since the season opener, saved 20 shots for the Red Wings. Detroit’s recent struggles continued as they dropped their second consecutive game and have lost five out of their last seven, posting a record of 2-4-1 in that span.

Key Observations: The 38-year-old Jonathan Quick enjoyed significant success as he filled in behind Igor Shesterkin last season, boasting an 18-6-2 record. Notably, Quick has emerged victorious in each of his three starts this season. On the other hand, Husso was called up from the Grand Rapids Griffins of the American Hockey League just a day prior due to Alex Lyon’s lower-body injury.

One of the pivotal moments in the game came when the Red Wings, trailing 1-0 at the end of the first period, unleashed an offensive surge with 19 shots aimed at the Rangers’ net during the second period. Both Patrick Kane and Dylan Larkin had near-misses, striking the goal post. Just as Detroit began to build momentum, Vesey scored, extending the Rangers’ lead to 2-0 with a well-placed shot into the glove side of Husso with just over three minutes remaining in the period.

A noteworthy statistic reveals Quick has managed to secure a shutout in 17 consecutive seasons, placing him sixth in the NHL’s history for the longest such streak.

Looking ahead, the Rangers are set to host the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Red Wings will travel to Pittsburgh on Wednesday to commence a four-game road trip.
