COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Rangers can’t have anything nice, like leads or momentum.

Because whenever they get one of those things recently, they find a way to kill it.

With another disjointed effort in what has been almost two months of them, they dropped a 7-5 decision to the Blue Jackets here on Sunday night.

The Rangers (18-20-7) had just broken a five-game losing streak when they were able to pick up their first win ever in eight tries at Barclays Center, taking a 2-1 victory over the Islanders on Saturday afternoon.
