My early story:
NEW YORK – As the Rangers continue to take apart, and try to fix, parts of their game that have either failed or been inconsistent, one area had become a strength lately.
The Rangers’ penalty killing units had been on a 17-for-17 run through the prior six games heading into Friday’s Garden game against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
And while they’ve had a fair amount of turnover in the personnel on the penalty kill, it has been a constant in two-plus seasons under coach Alain Vigneault and assistant coach Ulf Samuelsson.
