The New York Rangers’ six-game road winning streak is over.
The Blueshirts did score twice, matching their combined goal total from their previous two games. But that wasn’t enough against the Vegas Golden Knights, who held off the Rangers 3-2 on Tuesday night at T-Mobile Arena in the opener of a three-game road trip.
The Rangers (10-9-2) managed just 19 shots on goal against Vegas, which hasn’t allowed as many as 30 shots in any of its 19 games this season. Through the first 57-plus minutes, the only shot to beat goaltender Akira Schmid came 8:56 into the second period when Jonny Brodzinski banged in a rebound to finish off a 2-on-1 rush.
