The Rangers have hardly been an offensive juggernaut through their otherwise encouraging first week, but you wouldn’t know that by the advanced analytics measuring the first three games.

The third period in Columbus, in which the Blueshirts out-attempted the Blue Jackets by an astounding 39-6 — that translates to two shot attempts per minute — and 24-6 at five-on-five in the 5-3 defeat skews matters a bit, but still, it is all but impossible to remember amid all the fancy stats this team has posted.

Following Monday’s 2-1 victory over the Coyotes in a home opener where chances and open ice were difficult to come by, the Rangers ranked third in the NHL in shot-attempt percentage at 59.49, second in expected-goals-for percentage at 62.82 and first in the league in creating high-danger chances.

Of course, this represents a teeny sample size, but over the two years of Gerard Gallant’s tenure behind the bench, the Blueshirts ranked 22nd in shot-attempt percentage (48.45); 22nd in xGF% (48.11) and 16th in generating high-danger chances at five-on-five.
