Rangers blow lead and fall to rival Hurricanes as skid hits four during tumultuous time
NY Post
RALEIGH, N.C. — As much as a win over the Hurricanes would’ve been medicine for the Rangers’ soul, a loss was like further inflammation.
The Blueshirts losing streak reached four games Wednesday night, after the visitors blew a third-period lead in a 4-3 loss to Carolina in front of a split-and-invested crowd at Lenovo Center.
A victory over the Hurricanes in particular probably would have alleviated some weight off the Rangers for a myriad of reasons. Instead, it has only piled onto what has been a tumultuous few days.
The Canes are not only the second-ranked team in the NHL and the No. 1 club in the Metropolitan Division, they’re a top-tier, hard-to-play-against organization the Rangers have set themselves apart from in recent years.
Beating Carolina twice in their last three playoff runs, the Rangers have usually come out on the winning side in going toe-to-toe with that team.
Not on Wednesday.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
