Rangers' Struggles


The New York Rangers struggled to keep pace with Carolina's relentless attack despite putting up a fight in terms of shots on goal and faceoffs won. They managed three goals over three periods but were unable to capitalize on powerplay opportunities effectively.


Their lone powerplay goal came from an opportunity where they had four shots but only converted once. Despite winning half of their faceoffs and registering more hits than Carolina (23 compared to 16), these efforts weren't enough to turn the tide in their favor.
