The New York Rangers had their four-game winning streak snapped at the hands of the Boston Bruins this afternoon, as they were defeated 3-1 at the TD Garden. The Rangers, who were sporting a shorthanded lineup with Andrew Copp, Filip Chytil, and Kaapo Kakko all sidelined due to injury, played as well as they could have given the circumstances. Igor Shesterkin got the nod in goal for New York today, and gave the Rangers a chance to comeback with another solid performance.
