Rangers blitzed by Senators as season is spiraling out of control

The booing, after each of the four Senators goals and whenever else the Rangers play warranted it, said it all. So did the cheers — the mock ones unleashed in the Garden when the public address announcer issued the one-minute remaining warning in the first period.

In a season filled with low after low after low that ultimately led to the cellar of the Eastern Conference, this frame was just the latest.

The Rangers were outshot 14-6 by the Senators in the opening 20 minutes.

They didn’t have a scoring chance, according to Natural Stat Trick, let alone anything that qualified as a high-danger one.

Only three of those came from a top nine forward, and all were collected by Mika Zibanejad.

Their ninth loss in the past 11 games was all but sealed by the time the horn sounded for the first time, and it only worsened across the final 40 minutes of their 8-4 loss Wednesday, when Jonathan Quick was pulled for the second time in three games and the first two-goal game of Gabe Perreault’s young career emerged as perhaps the lone Rangers positive.
