After returning to Madison Square Garden following a four-game road trip on the west coast, the New York Rangers had themselves a Manic Monday for all the wrong reasons.
Looking to bounce back from a tough loss in Anaheim on Saturday, the Blueshirts instead dropped a second straight game for the first time in a month.
It wasn’t for the lack of trying, though.
They outshot the Predators 15-8 in the first period but did fall behind to a Rocco Grimaldi goal, although Chris Kreider‘s eighth goal of the year made it a tied game heading into the second.
