J.T. Miller, Matthew Robertson and Alexis Lafreniere also scored
as the Rangers snapped a six-game losing streak.
The 23-year-old Garand, who made his debut Sunday at home
against Winnipeg, a 3-2 shootout loss, allowed only a goal by
Chicago’s Nick Lardis late in the first period.
Chicago has lost four of its last five.
Lardis finished off a passing play with Tyler Bertuzzi and Alex
Vlasic late in the first. But Miller tied it less than a minute
later with his 15th goal of the season.
Sykora, who debuted in Wednesday’s 4-3 loss at Toronto, beat
Blackhawks goaltender Arvid Soderblom cleanly at 8:20 of the
second. The 21-year-old Sykora was a second-round pick in 2022.
Brodzinski scored 16:07 into the second period, then added his
second of the game with 4 minutes left.
The victory was just New York's fifth home win in regulation.
New York is 10-18-7 at the Garden.
Defenseman Drew Fortescue also made his Rangers debut. The
20-year-old defensemen — a third-round pick in 2023 —- assisted
on Brodzinski's second goal.
Soderblom made 33 saves.
