The Rangers finally stopped skidding — and it only gets tougher from here
NY Post
The Rangers stumbled a bit through one of the softer parts of their 2024-25 schedule, going 2-2 against bottom-tier clubs — the Penguins, Kraken, Blackhawks and Sabres — at a time when the team could’ve used a win streak to feel good about.
Wrapping it up with a 3-2 victory in Buffalo on Wednesday night, the Blueshirts who spoke after the game echoed the same sentiment.
The focus now is on stringing the wins together and going on a run that will make up ground in the Metropolitan Division standings.
“It hurts any time you put a stinker up at home ice. It’s not good, especially the way things have been going for us,” Adam Fox said, referencing the Rangers’ dismal 2-1 loss to the last-place Blackhawks on Monday. “We’ve tried to keep the morale high and that good energy. We want to string together a couple now. Got to start with one.
“Definitely coming into this game [against the Sabres], it was two teams who were just looking for a win, and I thought we battled to get that. Just got to go home and take care of some business, too.”
This was certainly a missed opportunity, however, considering the gauntlet the Rangers will have to get through to finish this month.
