The New York Rangers hobbled into TD Garden to face the Boston Bruins and although a strong effort, the boys in blue fell short, losing 4-2 and helped extend Boston’s win streak to ten games. Starting in net for the shorthanded Rangers was Igor Shesterkin, who stopped 20 out of 24 shots, while Linus Ullmark, saving 24, started in net for Boston. Due to league rules, the Rangers were forced to play shorthanded once again, having Ryan Lindgren, K’Andre Miller and Tyler Motte out of the lineup.
Charlie Coyle, who had a goal and an assist, put the Bruins a 1-0 lead at 18:07 of the first period.
