Wayne Gretzky once famously stated, “You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take.” These are words that should stick with the New York Rangers throughout the rest of the season.
The Blueshirts did a great job bouncing back from a three-game skid with two solid road wins against the Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings. However, the Rangers still need to increase the amount of shots they take on goal, especially on the power play.
The Rangers have scored only three times on their past 20 power plays after Sunday’s win, including coming up empty on three opportunities in Detroit.
