The New York Rangers' three-decade long Stanley Cup drought will last another year.

The Rangers were shut out 2-0 Saturday night in a Game 6 Eastern Conference Finals elimination loss to the Florida Panthers.

The Panthers will advance to face either the Dallas Stars or Edmonton Oilers as they earn a ticket to the Stanley Cup Final for the second straight season.
