Rangers win home game in regulation for first time since November with drubbing of Maple Leafs
NY Post
For the first time in 102 days, the Rangers won a game on home ice in regulation.
A 6-2 beating of the Maple Leafs Thursday night snapped a 19-game streak without a regulation victory at Madison Square Garden, a stretch dating back to a Nov. 24 win over the Blues, just before Thanksgiving.
In a clash between two of the most disappointing teams in the Eastern Conference, the Rangers prevailed while sitting two players — Vincent Trocheck and Sam Carrick — for “roster management purposes.”
Both skaters are expected to be traded before Friday’s 3 p.m. Eastern trade deadline, with Carrick reportedly headed to Buffalo, according to Sportsnet.
“Obviously, tough,” said Will Cuylle, who scored the Rangers’ first goal of the game and their last into an empty net. “I mean, you don’t know what’s going to happen with them. Just try to focus on the game and try to get a win.”
With his 14th goal of the season, Alexis Lafrenière gave the Rangers their first lead of the night just over 5 ½ minutes into the third period.
