Falling behind by two or more goals for the third straight game, the Blueshirts couldn’t claw their way out this time around and ultimately lost 4-1 to the Jets on Monday night
at Madison Square Garden. Winnipeg and its goalie, Connor Hellebuyck, may have been skating on the second night of a back-to-back, but the Rangers struggled to find the back of the net for the first time in a while.This wasn’t as sluggish a start as the previous two contests. In fact, the Rangers carved up the Jets’ zone in the first few minutes, but Hellebuyck kept his team in the game despite appearing in goal for the second consecutive night for the first time this season.
Whether it was the Jets filling the shooting lanes or the Rangers’ reluctance to put the puck on net, the home team had a case of the too-many-passes. The perfect pass always seemed to be there, but when it came time to unload a shot, the Blueshirts repeatedly passed it up. This was not an isolated occurrence for the Rangers, who are simply built to look for the pretty feed rather than dirty goals.
Despite outshooting the Jets 20-9 in the first period, and ultimately 51-20 in the game, the Rangers emerged from the first period trailing 2-0. K’Andre Miller flipped the puck out of play and was hit with a delay-of-game penalty, which put the visitors on the power play and led to Pierre-Luc Dubois tipping in a Josh Morrissey shot.
