""I thought he was terrific," Rangers coach Mike Sullivan said after the Rangers' 3-2 shootout loss. "He looked really solid, [had a] calm demeanor in there, [was] tracking pucks well. His rebound control was great. He made some big saves for us. I thought he had a really strong game.""
""G played unbelievable," Rangers captain J.T. Miller said. "I'm happy for him. For a first start, that was pretty damn impressive.""
""It was awesome. It was pretty surreal, really," Garand, 23, said of his debut. "I just tried to be present and take it all in. And yeah, it was everything you could ever hope and dream of. And, you know, it sucks to not get the win for the guys, but it was a dream come true.""
Dylan Garand made his NHL debut for the Rangers against the Winnipeg Jets, performing well enough to earn a call-back.

Miller expressed admiration for Garand's impressive first start.
