The Rangers enter Wednesday’s matchup against the bottom-feeding Senators with two roads to take by the time the final horn sounds.
One route has the potential to lead back to the confidence level that helped propel the Rangers to the conference final last season. The other, however, could draw the RangersThree losses in a row is the streak the Rangers stowed under their plane on the way here.
“I don’t know what’s missing,” Filip Chytil said in response to the opening question of his postgame media scrum The phrase “must-win game” gets thrown around a lot more than it should. But for the Rangers, whose team morale cannot afford another loss to an inferior club, this contest is just that. They need a confidence-boosting win that will ease the vibe in the locker room and act as a stepping stone toward rediscovering their identity.
Whether it’s the first, second or third periods, the Rangers haven’t always effectively preserved leads this season. Whether they’re getting too comfortable or playing not to lose, there is just no will to protect the lead at times. Like a house of cards, one wrong move and the whole thing comes crashing down.“We’re fighting for it,” captain Jacob Trouba said after Monday’s defeat, in which the Rangers blew a two-goal lead in the first period. “You’ve got to keep fighting for it.
