Something about the Columbus Blue Jackets always seems to give the Rangers trouble and sure enough, that’s what we saw tonight. The Rangers had the chance to make history but the division rivals were going to do everything in their power to prevent that from happening. Fresh off the front of a back-to-back with travel, the Rangers ran out of gas in what became an incredibly sloppy showing.
