Rangers destroyed by Islanders as Jacob Trouba, playoff hopes take nasty hit
NY Post
If the Rangers were going to get a reality check after handily defeating the lowly Devils four games in a row, leave it to the Islanders.
Because after playing a team that had been dismembered at the trade deadline and whose playoff hopes are nonexistent, the Blueshirts were humbled Tuesday night at Nassau Coliseum with a 6-1 loss to an Islanders squad fighting for the top seed in the East. Having taken two convincing wins over their New York rivals earlier in the season, the Rangers got to meet the postseason version of the Isles, whose victory pulled them even with the Capitals for first place in the division.More Related News
