The Rangers paid a visit to St. Louis to take on the Blues for the first time this season and boy did things not go great. This team is officially in a rut as they picked up their third loss in a row and fourth in their last five games. After picking up an early lead, the Rangers allowed the Blues to tie things up and eventually take the lead on the power play as special teams quickly became a problem. It wouldn’t help that the Rangers would be without Mika Zibanejad who ended up leaving warm ups early as he battles an illness.
