For the final time this season, the Rangers took on their Hudson River rivals in a matchup of two of the NHL’s cellar dwellers. Unfortunately for the boys in blue, it would be the home team pulling out the 4-2 victory at Prudential Center.
Brett Howden – The 21-year-old forward has been on a tear over the last week or so as he entered the contest with a three-game points streak. Howden had no plans of ending that streak as he got the Rangers on the board late in the first period. The Blueshirts came down 3v1 and Howden snapped the shot past Blackwood for his sixth goal of the season.
