Perhaps it was fatigue. Perhaps not, since Columbus was also on the second of a back to back. But the Rangers were no match for the Columbus Blue Jackets last night at MSG. The Blue Jackets shelled the Rangers offensively and physically often. They then took advantage of defensive breakdowns and penalties to build a solid lead. The Rangers kept it close early, but the Blue Jackets were able to break it open with three straight.
Sergei Bobrovsky wasn’t tested much this game, giving up one goal to Rick Nash on a good passing play.
