“Try to take it one day at a time and try to have some enthusiasm out there and jump in our step,’’ Vincent Trocheck said of the team’s mentality following another ugly loss, this one featuring a blown two-goal lead at home on Monday against Seattle.
After the latest defeat, more than one Ranger player called the team “fragile,” and that came two days after Trocheck said the team needed a “reset” in the wake of their blowout loss in Boston on Saturday.
