The Rangers continue to post home-road splits opposite to those they managed last season, with Thursday’s 3-2 edging of the Flyers marking their eighth win in 10 games at the Garden. 

The Blueshirts will now get a chance to improve their 1-5-1 road record this season with a four-game trip opening Saturday night in Seattle, followed by stops in Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver. 

One year ago, Mike Sullivan’s team struggled mightily on home ice with a 14-20-7 mark at MSG, yet they were above NHL .500 away from Manhattan at 20-19-2. 

They are netting a healthy 3.9 goals per game at home, but that number dips to just 1.7 goals per game over their first seven road contests (12 goals total). 

However, that figure includes four goals in each of their past two road losses in Toronto and Ottawa in late October. 

The eight wins are tied for the second most in the first 10 home games of a season in team history, behind only a 9-0-1 MSG start in 1972-73.

Goalie Dylan Garand’s five home wins are tied for the second most in the NHL this season. He also ranks second with a 1.97 goals against average in home games, and he’s third in save percentage (.926). 

Veteran netminder Joonas Korpisalo rejoined the Rangers for the road trip following a brief conditioning assignment at AHL Hartford. He was sidelined by a foot infection since the start of the season. James Reimer was assigned to Hartford after clearing waivers. 

The 32-year-old Korpisalo was acquired from the Bruins in a July trade to replace retired backup goalie Jonathan Quick. 

Garand has received the bulk of the work since starter Igor Shesterkin suffered a season-ending right knee injury Oct. 9 against the Capitals.
