Today is October 28th. Alright, so The New York Rangers had a solid start to the season, climbing up to second place in the Metropolitan Division after going 6-0 at home.

But since then, it's been a rough road, losing two straight games against the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators.

On Monday, they dropped their first home game to the Los Angeles Kings by a score of 6-3. The Rangers were down 5-1 midway through the second period, so it wasn't even close. That's definitely got to be frustrating for fans looking for a competitive edge. A key issue for the Rangers is their inability to bounce back after falling behind. They posted a record of 0-5-1 when the other team scores first. That's a tough stat as they aim for a playoff spot after missing out the last two years. Head coach Mike Sullivan emphasized that they need to lock down defensively when trailing. The focus should be on preventing that second goal. Captain JT Miller echoed this, saying, They can't let the score dictate their style of play. They need to come out ready from the jump. So now, the Rangers really need to turn this around, especially with a lengthy break coming up. With key players like Alexis Lafreniere making strides, they have potential, but the focus must shift to consistency if they want to make a push for the playoffs.
