The New York Rangers went into their game Saturday night hoping to get back on track and end their road woes against a Montreal Canadiens team that lost it’s last five games. But the Habs, with the help of Shea Weber and Arrutri Lehkonen, handed the Blueshirts their fourth loss in their last five games by a score of 5-2.
From the first puck drop, the Canadiens gave the Blueshirts a hard time. Much of the first period was played in the Rangers zone, at one point the Canadiens led in shots 9-2. It was not until the Rangers killed off a penalty that they were to establish some offensive pressure, but the damage was done before and after.
