Between the trade deadline and the Rangers having four days off, it has certainly been a long week. With two fresh faces in the lineup, the Rangers had a great chance to shake off the little slump they found themselves in after dropping a pair of games to the Maple Leafs and Panthers earlier in the week. Not only did they get back on track, they executed a great team effort to blank the Blues and kickstart the post-deadline portion of the season with a big win.
