The 2025–26 NHL season hasn't gotten off to an ideal start for the Rangers, particularly when playing on their home ice. After losing 2–0 to the Oilers on Tuesday, New York has now been shut out in each of its first three home games this season. It's the first time in NHL history a team has been held without a goal in three straight home losses to start a new campaign, per Vince Mercogliano of The Athletic.
In their home opener, the Rangers were shut out by the Penguins, 3–0. They then went on a two-game road trip and defeated the Sabres, 4–0, and Pittsburgh, 6–1. After returning home to Madison Square Garden, they suffered back-to-back losses and didn't score in either one, losing 1–0 to Washington and then falling again Tuesday night against Edmonton.
