BUFFALO — Take two.
Or, in this case, none.
The Rangers head to Carolina for a Sunday evening match against the Candy Canes seeking to avoid the club’s first 0-3 start since the doomed 1998-99 club opened with four straight regulation losses.
That’s the scenario in the wake of Saturday’s 3-1 defeat here to the Sabres in which the Blueshirts generated 44 shots against Carter Hutton but committed a few too many mistakes at key times while failing to come up with enough key plays at essential junctures.
