For the seventh time in 14 contests, the New York Rangers scored two or fewer goals in a game. Most know that is not a successful formula for winning in the NHL.
Many of the issues for the Blueshirt’s woes have focused on too many turnovers and too many lost battles for pucks.
While that is also true, there is another issue that has also plagued the Rangers in the offensive zone: Too many passes.
This issue is especially evident on the power play, as during last week’s 1-0 loss to the Boston Bruins, the Rangers went scoreless on six power-play attempts.
