NEW YORK — Rangers coach Gerard Gallant was not the least bit interested in looking at Tuesday night’s game at Madison Square Garden against the Carolina Hurricanes as a potential first-round playoff series preview.
“Honestly, for me, no, I just want to keep playing well,’’ Gallant said after his team’s morning skate at their Greenburgh, N.Y. practice facility. “You talk about getting two points every night, and where you end up in the standings, you end up in the standings.’’
Carolina rallied from down a goal in the third period, scoring three times in the final period to beat the Rangers 3-2, ending the Rangers’ four-game win streak and their seven-game point streak when Teuvo Teravainen redirected a shot/pass from Brent Burns at 17:27 of the period.
