GREENBURGH N.Y. — The Rangers may have a little more confidence after Tuesday’s 5-1 defeat of the Flyers, but it takes more than one good game to build any momentum.
“We need to string together a couple of wins,” Mika Zibanejad said after practice Wednesday. “We can’t be satisfied. We’ve got to follow this up with a strong effort, otherwise that game doesn’t mean anything as far as momentum.”
The next building block could be placed on Thursday, when the Blueshirts host the Buffalo Sabres. The Rangers beat the Sabres, 3-2, in overtime in the Winter Classic at Citi Field on New Year’s Day.
