The Rangers played their first game of the season in North America after winning twice against Tampa Bay last weekend in the Czech Republic.

This marks the first time in 19 years the Rangers have opened a season 3-0. Aaron Voros and Nikolai Zherdev both scored and contributed an assist.

Voros snapped a 1-1 tie at 5:15 of the second period on a shot from the left circle and the Rangers led the rest of the way. Henrik Lundqvist made 30 saves for New York.

The Rangers will play in Philadelphia Saturday, trying for their first 4-0 start since 1984.
