The NY Rangers have offense problems. Yet after yesterday’s loss to the Carolina Hurricanes put them in an 0-2 hole, there was much discussion about who the Rangers should start in net. Henrik Lundqvist let in a soft one to start the game, that can’t be denied, but that wasn’t the issue throughout the game or series. Changing the goalie won’t solve the offense problem.
Talk, as expected, has shifted to Igor Shesterkin getting the start in net. Unless there is an injury, then Shesterkin is clearly the better option. However that won’t matter if the Rangers keep playing the way they’ve been.
