The New York Rangers had their three-game winning streak snapped this evening as they were defeated 6-3 by the surging Carolina Hurricanes. New York had a pretty miserable start to the game, and as a result, they put themselves in an early hole that was hard to dig out of. Alexandar Georgiev got the surprising start in goal for the Rangers this evening on the opening game of a back-to-back, and played pretty well given the circumstances.

After being a step behind the Hurricanes right from the opening faceoff, the Rangers didn’t do themselves any favors with an early penalty by Jacob Trouba.
