Coming off one of their least inspired efforts of the season, and in the wake of unwelcome injury news for one of their star players, the New York Rangers look to regroup Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden, when they host the Dallas Stars.
Outside of goalie Igor Shesterkin, the Rangers (13-12-1) were mostly uncompetitive — admittedly so, too — in a 4-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday afternoon. Compounding the head-scratching defeat was losing top defenseman Adam Fox for at least 10 games, after he landed on LTIR with an upper-body injury.
