The New York Rangers fanbase was hoping this season would be different from last's. Instead, the bad vibes remain on the Rangers, as they are in the midst of a dreadful slump, losing six of their last seven games. Their last two losses came against teams that were in last place at the time of puck drop — the San Jose Sharks and Calgary Flames. The Sharks hadn't won a game before until beating the Rangers 6-5 in overtime. The Flames, meanwhile, were in the midst of an eight-game losing streak and averaging just 1.67 goals per game, the lowest in hockey, before defeating the Rangers 5-1.
