The New York Rangers were shutout for the second consecutive game this evening as they were defeated 3-0 by the New York Islanders. The Rangers were missing two important pieces to their lineup tonight as both Chris Kreider and Ryan Lindgren were sidelined with injuries. Alexandar Georgiev got the start in goal tonight in hopes of continuing his strong play against the Islanders, but didn’t get much help from the team in front of him.
