Hey! Hey! Hey, Hey, Hey! Cue up the New York Rangers goal song and chalk up the Blueshirts first home-ice win of the season, a long-awaited 6-3 victory over the Nashville Predators at Madison Square Garden on Monday.
The Rangers (8-7-2) entered Monday winless in their first seven home games (0-6-1). If that wasn’t mind-boggling and frustrating enough, they scored six goals in those seven games, and were shut out five times.
But the Rangers had five different goal scorers against the Predators, and Vincent Trocheck added two assists in his return to the lineup after missing 14 straight games due to an upper-body injury.
