The Rangers have been in a bit of a funk since the beginning of December, having gone 4-6-5 in their previous fifteen contests entering their matchup against the defending Western Conference Champions. Unfortunately for the Rangers, this one would end in the team’s fourth consecutive defeat as the Golden Knights defeated the Blueshirts 4-2 at T-Mobile Arena.
A brutal road trip for the Rangers, but their effort and intentions seemed good and right tonight. They’re just not as good as Vegas. And these kinds of slides are bound to happen to a team that told everyone 11 months ago there would be hard times ahead.
