After another tragic second period and another notch in the loss column, the San Jose Sharks will make the short hop from Long Island to Midtown Manhattan. Heading into Madison Square Garden on Thursday, the Sharks are still looking for that elusive first win of the season. It won’t be easy to secure one against the New York Rangers.
New York made it all the way to the Eastern Conference Final last season before falling to the Tampa Bay Lightning in six games. In the off-season, the Rangers allowed players like Ryan Strome and Andrew Copp to walk and brought in Vincent Trocheck and Kaapo Kakko.
