The New York Rangers lost their fourth straight game this evening as they were defeated 5-2 by the Minnesota Wild. The Rangers had kept the game close in the first period, but three straight goals by Minnesota was enough to put the game out of reach. Pavel Buchnevich scored midway through the third period to give the Rangers some hope, but the Wild iced the game a little later in the period.
