This was a game that the New York Rangers should have won. It was a much better game than the effort on Tuesday when they threw 50 mostly ineffective shots at the Devils. For a good chunk of the game, it looked like things were going to go the Rangers’ way, then Lady Luck intervened.
Why did they lose? They blew a two goal lead against a Penguins team that has some gifted scorers, a fact that was clearly evident in the shootout.
