Remember when the Rangers were seemingly scoring four or five goals per game at will?
That stretch is over.
The Blueshirts lost their second straight for the first time this season, scoring just twice in those games, as the Florida Panthers came from behind twice to tie the game and won, 3-2, in a shootout. Vincent Trocheck and Aleksander Barkov scored on Henrik Lundqvist, and Mats Zuccarello and Brandon Pirri were stopped by James Reimer in the Blueshirts’ first shootout of the seaoson.
But the far worse news for the Rangers (13-5-1) could be the loss of Mika Zibanejad.
