One year ago, the Rangers played what turned out to be the final game of their 2019-20 season in Denver, where Pavel Buchnevich’s goal with 13 seconds left in regulation earned them a point in an overtime loss to the Colorado Avalanche on March 11, 2020.
The next day, March 12, the NHL announced it would pause its season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
A year later, the Rangers were on the road again, in Boston Thursday for a game against the Bruins at TD Garden. And there would be no late-game heroics for the Rangers in this one. The Bruins scored two goals in the first period and two in the second to chase starting goalie Alexandar Georgiev and deal the Rangers their third straight loss, 4-0, in the opener of the teams’ two-game set. They face each other again Saturday afternoon.
