The New York Rangers confounding home slump continued Saturday night, when a 5-0 loss to the New York Islanders extended their winless streak to open the season at Madison Square Garden to seven games (0-6-1).
They are also the first NHL team to be shut out in five of their first seven home games since the 1928-29 Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Rangers held a 33-26 edge in shots on goal, as well as a 12-9 edge in high-danger chances on Saturday, according to Natural Stat Trick, but actually scoring goals on home ice continues to elude them.
