Just when it was beginning to appear like the Recent York Rangers had gotten it together, J.T. Miller and company crumbled anew on Tuesday night, losing to the visiting Carolina Hurricanes at Madison Square Garden in Recent York, 3-0.
The Rangers entered the meeting with Carolina on the heels of a three-game win streak, including back-to-back extra time victories over the Edmonton Oilers and Seattle Kraken to complete a road trip. However the moment they returned home, it appeared as if the Rangers had lost their powers. There’s something within the Big Apple that Recent York has to determine before, as they continue to be winless at MSG within the 2025-26 NHL season through six games there.
Rangers captain JT Miller is actually not completely happy with how things are going for his team this season overall.
“It’s not likely cute anymore. It has been 14 games,” Miller said after the loss to Carolina, per Mollie Walker of The Recent York Post.
The 32-year-old Miller also blamed himself for the Rangers’ struggles.
“I must be higher and to guide higher for these guys. Just not acceptable at home to not get the job done at the top of the day, whether you play well or not,” the veteran shared (via Walker).
The Hurricanes got to a 1-0 lead in the primary period with a goal in the person advantage by Nikolaj Ehlers. They prolonged their result in 2-0 within the second period on an even-strength goal by Sean Walker. One other insurance goal got here for Carolina within the third frame, as Seth Jarvis put one in for an empty-netter with under two minutes left in regulation.
Recent York’s offense simply couldn’t get anything going despite some great opportunities. While the Hurricanes went 1-for-3 on the facility play, the Rangers were held scoreless in three power-play shifts. The Rangers were outshot in the sport, 32-25, but additionally they had 10 high-danger shot attempts to nine by Carolina.
On the season, the 6-6-2 Rangers are second-to-last in the complete league with a median of just 2.21 goals per game, which can be not doing their otherwise solid defense any favors. Recent York, which has the NHL’s second-best average of two.43 goals allowed per game, will get back on the road for his or her next game versus the Detroit Red Wings on Friday. Their next likelihood to get win No. 1 at home shall be on Saturday against the Recent York Islanders.
