The New York Rangers are on the road for the first time in the 2018-19 season, as they travel upstate to take on the Buffalo Sabres. Last season, the Rangers were 3-0-0 against the Sabres.
Both the Sabres and Rangers are 0-1 to start the season, as both lost their home openers Thursday; the Sabres lost 4-0 to the Boston Bruins and the Rangers fell 3-2 to the Nashville Predators.
The Rangers were outshot by the Predators and there’s clearly work to be done in the defensive zone, but they are adjusting to head coach David Quinn’s system, which will take time.
