Both teams were off Wednesday after losing Tuesday, when the Rangers suffered their fourth straight defeat, 4-2 in Vegas, e Vegas Golden Knights, 4-2, and the Islanders lost 4-3 at home to Carolina to bring the Isles' six-game winning streak to an end.

Garland was credited with two goals — the first appearing to just graze his uniform — and Darcy Kuemper made 23 saves for his first shutout of the season and 12th overall to help the Coyotes beat the New York Rangers 5-0 on Sunday to end a three-game losing streak.
