Yet again, the New York Rangers take to the road, looking to get right after another losing effort on home ice. This time they’re in Detroit to face off against the Red Wings on Friday night, after extending their home winless streak to six games earlier in the week.
This early-season cycle features two distinctly different parts for the Rangers (6-6-2). On the road, they’re an NHL-best 6-1-1, and have points in seven of eight games. Back home at Madison Square Garden, the Rangers can’t score (six goals in six games) and are a League-worst 0-5-1, an all-time bad start in franchise history.
