Given the chance to bounce right back after losing on home ice the night before, the New York Rangers instead couldn’t manage a single goal against the last-place Vancouver Canucks, losing 3-0 Tuesday at Madison Square Garden.
It was New York’s seventh shutout defeat already this season, and sixth at The Garden, where the Rangers lost for the 13th time in 17 games (4-10-3). This latest one followed a 4-1 home loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Monday.
The Rangers (16-15-4) have one win in their past six games overall (1-3-2), and own the third worst points percentage in the tight Eastern Conference.
