They tested Stuart Skinner 30 times, forcing the oft-maligned netminder to make some highlight-reel saves. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know if I should laugh or cry,&#8221; centreman Mika Zibanejad told <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/vzmercogliano\/status\/1978275057903215014\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/x.com\/vzmercogliano\/status\/1978275057903215014\" rel=\"nofollow\">reporters<\/a> after the loss. <\/p>\n<p>They were also shut out in their home opener against the rival Pittsburgh Penguins, 3-0, and again on Sunday against the Washington Capitals.<\/p>\n<p>On the flip side, they&#8217;ve had no issues scoring goals on the road, beating the Buffalo Sabres in their home-opener 4-0 and exacting revenge on the Penguins with a 6-1 win at PPG Paints Arena.<\/p>\n<p>The Rangers now head on the road for a two-game trip against fellow Original Sixers Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens. Their next chance to score a goal in front of Rangers faithful will be Oct. 20 against the Minnesota Wild.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Rangers simply cannot buy a goal at Madison Square Garden so far this season.
