The New York Rangers will have another chance to make a move in the Metropolitan Division, and they’ll have to make it count this time.
The Rangers squandered a pair of third-period leads against the Carolina Hurricanes in a 3-2 loss on Tuesday by surrendering three goals in the final frame.
New York will have a shot at revenge on Thursday when they visit the Hurricanes in Raleigh, N.C.
“We didn’t play near well enough to beat that team,” Gerard Gallant said. “They were a lot quicker than we were… But it all comes back to we didn’t skate enough, we didn’t move the puck enough, we didn’t play our game.
