Penalty killing has been fatal to Rangers in two straight losses

When the Rangers get back to practice on Monday, something tells us they better be ready to practice killing penalties.

The Rangers allowed seven power-play goals combined in a pair of defeats at Tampa Bay on Thursday and at Florida on Saturday.

You can somewhat write off the five power-play goals the Rangers gave up in a 9-3 drubbing on Thursday as a just one-of-those-games thing. But coach David Quinn was more perturbed about the two the Rangers allowed to the Panthers in a tight 4-3 loss.

“Obviously, our penalty-kill has to get better,” Quinn said.
