"No, they didn't get shut out for a fourth straight game at home. But they also lost again at home, falling to the Wild, 3-1, to leave them 0-for-4 at Madison Square Garden this season. And unlike after their previous two home losses, to Washington and Edmonton, where they felt they'd played well enough to win, they couldn't say that after this one."
"This wasn't nearly the game that we've been putting on the ice game-in and game-out. And we knew we were going to play a team that was going to come in with urgency, based on circumstance (the Wild had lost three straight, and 4 of 5), and we didn't match the urgency. That was the challenge. We got outplayed tonight."
The Rangers fell 3-1 to the Minnesota Wild and dropped to 0-4 at Madison Square Garden, with a 3-4-1 overall record. Artemi Panarin scored New York's only goal early, and he emphasized the need to generate more chances, focus on shooting and get bodies to the net for screens. Danila Yurov scored his first NHL goal in the third period to break a 1-1 tie, and Kirill Kaprizov added an empty-net goal late. Igor Shesterkin finished with 29 saves. Coach Mike Sullivan said the team was outplayed and failed to match the Wild's urgency.
