The Rangers have now lost three in a row, and are fresh off a pretty ugly loss to the Devils yesterday. It was a pretty lackluster effort against a bad team. Now they have a very good San Jose team that is pretty much scoring at will with a goalie that seems at home with his new team. Luckily for the Rangers, they are getting the Sharks without Logan Couture. Unfortunately, their defense is hemorrhaging shots.
This will be the second game with the new defensive pairings, and hopefully will yield some better results. I’m not even talking wins at the moment, I’m talking allowing fewer shots and scoring chances.
