BOSTON — Maybe the star-studded New York Rangers will get it together between now and the end of the regular season. And, to be fair, they were undermanned on Saturday.
But the highly-skilled Blushirts could simply not hang with the Bruins for three periods on Saturday at TD Garden. The Bruins wore the Rangers down in the third period, scoring a couple of goals to pull away for a 4-2 victory for their 10th straight victory.
The Rangers were missing K’Andre Miller (suspension) and Ryan Lindgren (shoulder) and, because of their cap situation, they were forced to play with 16 skaters (11 forwards, five defensemen). Still, the Blueshirts’ skill was evident at times, but they could not make enough plays against the league-leading Bruins.
