The Rangers are tired of losing, tired of this season, tired of playing meaningless games.
But that does not mean that they are totally tired of a rivalry.
The Blueshirts are fully aware of their 1-8-2 record against the Islanders in the past three seasons that includes exactly zero victories in the five games ever played between the two at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. The overall record also includes losses in all three games played this season, with only Thursday night’s match on Atlantic Avenue the remaining shot for redemption for the Rangers before both teams slog off for a long summer.
