It didn’t take long for the New York Rangers to get the home crowd up on its feet and cheering Monday night. But by time the final buzzer sounded, those same fans booed the Rangers off the Madison Square Garden ice, following a 4-2 loss to the Seattle Kraken.
The Rangers (20-21-6) raced to a 2-0 lead less than six minutes into the game, and carried that advantage into the second period. But it was the Kraken who scored the next four goals, including Shane Wright’s go-ahead tally at 12:02 of the third period to hand the Rangers their seventh loss in the past eight games (1-5-2).
