Rangers not looking for moral victories after falling short where it matters: 3 takeaways

New York Times  

NEW YORK — The New York Rangers weren’t blown out of the building, as they were in Buffalo a week ago. Their game Friday against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Madison Square Garden was a minor achievement: The Rangers’ best game by far since the 4 Nations Face-Off break. The makeshift pairs — K’Andre Miller stayed with Will Borgen, Ryan Lindgren paired with Urho Vaakanainen, and Jones got back in the lineup for the first time in three weeks — were capable, even if the Rangers struggled at times in the first two periods to contain the Matthews line. Cuylle’s second short-handed goal of the season gave the Rangers three players with at least two shorties, the first time that’s happened since 2020-21. The one aspect of Friday’s game that did resemble many others this season was the start — Oliver Ekman-Larsson’s power-play goal 1:47 in marked the 22nd time this season the Rangers allowed a goal in the game’s first five minutes.
