The New York Rangers continue to say the right things. They continue to do most of the right things. They continue to dominate opponents for long stretches of games.
But the goals still aren’t coming, and neither are the wins.
On Thursday, the Rangers did end a scoring drought that extended to 170:39, when Juuso Parssinen scored on a deflection at 4:51 of the third period. But they left Scotiabank Arena with just one point, largely because they scored only one goal, in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
As was the case in their 1-0 loss to the Washington Capitals on Sunday and their 2-0 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday, the Rangers had by far the more dangerous scoring chances — 11-3 at even strength and 17-9 in all situations, according to Natural Stat Trick.
