The Blueshirts need to eradicate — or at least limit — these lopsided periods from their repertoire.
Their trouble finishing followed them from city to city. So many posts were hit. So many shots went just wide. So many bounces just did not go in their favor. Masking their frustrations with their poor puck luck went better some nights more than others, but when their irritation came through, it only made that black rubber disc stingier. Losing to the Ducks, who are in the basement of the entire NHL, cast a bit of a shadow over the positives the Rangers should be taking away from the trip.
The Rangers started to get some five-on-five scoring from their top six, especially in the 5-3 win in Los Angeles on Tuesday. Barclay Goodrow, Vincent Trocheck, Kaapo Kakko and Chris Kreider all broke through. It may not be nearly enough, but it’s a place to start. It was also encouraging to see some fight in the Rangers. In two of the four games, they rallied from behind to either a win or to force overtime. The second period of the game against the Kings, when the Rangers scored three in a row to erase a two-goal deficit, is probably a contender for one of their better 20 minutes of the season.
“This is how you build things,” captain Jacob Trouba said after the come-from-behind win over the Kings. “Fighting through adversity, fighting through being down two, hanging on to a one-goal lead going into the third on the road in a pretty good building. Those are the kinds of things that build a team. I think we’ve — I don’t want to say stumbled a bit early but — had some tough breaks. Had some games that we didn’t get the result we wanted.
