- You might be annoyed at the Rangers being late to the party (game) yesterday, and the fact that they were pretty thoroughly dominated throughout the contest — attempts ended up being close, but the Blue Jackets doubled up the Rangers in expected goals at evens — but that was a banner evening for the tank.
- Not only did the Rangers lose but the Islanders, Oilers, and Red Wings all won. The Rangers have some work to do to get themselves into safe territory in terms of the upcoming draft, but results like this help a lot.
