After a devastating 5-1 loss to Calgary earlier in the week, the Rangers looked to bounce back and take a win at home before a west coast road trip and they did just that with a 4-0 shutout over the Columbus Blue Jackets. The power play looked better, they were winning face-offs at a higher rate, and most importantly the kids were scoring. Nils Lundkvist claimed his first NHL point while Adam Fox had his first multi-point game of the season.
