The Rangers and Islanders finish up their home and home and their 2018-2019 season matchups today in Brooklyn. Thursday’s spirited affair left the Rangers with a last minute loss in regulation, and I’m sure the Blueshirts would like to keep the season series tied.
The Blueshirts dominated most of that game, but it was the one shot they allowed in the third that got through on some pretty terrible defensive play. The penalty kill was a disaster for the Rangers too, so staying out of the box would be a step in the right direction.
#TheVision is always something on the minds of fans, but beating the Islanders should be a bigger priority.
