New York Rangers Daily: Seeking answers in Smashville, Panthers win wild Cup rematch
Another day, another chance for the New York Rangers to find a cure for all that ails them.
The Rangers skate against the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena on Tuesday, hoping to find their footing against another massively disappointing team. In fact, the Predators (8-17-6) are in far worse shape than the Rangers (15-14-1), even if New York has lost 10 of its past 13 games.
The Predators are tied for last in the NHL with 22 points and a .355 points percentage. They’re tied with the Chicago Blackhawks at the bottom of the League standings. Of course, the Rangers lost 2-1 to the Blackhawks last week, so they can take nothing for granted against the woeful Predators on Tuesday.
One things for sure, there’s going to be one really angry team after this game. Because each must believe that this is a winnable game, given the state of poor state of the Rangers and Predators.
