It had been 51 weeks since the Rangers fans had seen their Blueshirts in person at Madison Square Garden, and when the fans returned to the World’s Most Famous Arena, their team put on a show for them.
Playing their second game since their leading scorer and best offensive player, Artemi Panarin, took a leave of absence, the Rangers rewarded their faithful with a spirited 6-2 thrashing of the first-place Boston Bruins Friday night in the opener of a two-game weekend set.
