I'm Corey with the story. All right, so the New York Rangers got a crucial game coming up against the Columbus Blue Jackets this Saturday. They need to shake off a tough loss of the New Jersey Devils and secure a win. Getting back on track is key right now. With this being their 10th game of the season, the Rangers are looking for their seventh win.

They started the season strong, and that's got to feel good for the team. It's all about maintaining that momentum, right? But it hasn't been all smooth sailing. Igor Shesterkin is out for the rest of the season, and both Junas Korpisalo and Jovolino will be sideline for a while. That's some serious adversity.

Still, the team's depth has stepped up, which was a big focus this offseason. This challenge will really test their adjustments. Last Thursday was rough, though. The Rangers were riding a two-game win streak, but a shaky first period against the Devils left them down 4-0 before they knew it. Dylan Garand had to take the heat for that game, but he's been solid overall. Hopefully, they can rally and bounce back strong.

Fortunately for New York, the Blue Jackets aren't exactly soaring with a 2-3 record. This should be a winnable game, though they've struggled to score on the road lately. So yeah, it'll be interesting to see how they respond and if they can leave that bad loss behind.
