The New York Rangers had their four-game winning streak snapped this evening as they were shutout 3-0 by the New York Islanders. The Rangers had the better of the play throughout most of the game, but just couldn’t find a way to break through Islanders’ stifling defense. Semyon Varlamov was another pain in the neck tonight, and picked up yet another shutout as the Rangers just couldn’t catch a bounce in front of the net.
