New York Rangers captain J.T. Miller doesn’t want his teammates to panic after the Blueshirts made NHL history on Tuesday night — just not the kind that they wanted.
The Rangers became the first team to lose via shutout in each of its first three home games when they outplayed the Edmonton Oilers for most of the night but couldn’t get a puck past goaltender Stuart Skinner in a 2-0 loss before 16,497 disgruntled fans at Madison Square Garden.
As was the case in a 1-0 loss to the Washington Capitals at home Sunday, the Rangers had much the better of play.
