Rangers Fall Short in Third Period Comeback 5-4
Heading into last night's third period down 5-2 against New Jersey the Rangers almost pulled a comeback scoring 2 goals and coming close in the final seconds.
Many positives could be taken from the Rangers first preseason loss.
Mika Zibanejad continued to impress the coaching staff with another power play goal and an assist.
Defenseman John Gilmour scored his second goal in 2 games played while fellow D-Man Adam Clendening picked up his 3rd and 4th assists in 2 games played.
Playing an almost full squad of what might be the Devils starting lineup for regular season the Rangers held their own pretty much with a team of mostly rookies and free agents signings trying to snag a roster spot. World Cup returning J.T. Miller picked up and assist and the Rangers scoring was rounded out by Jesper Fast and a power play goal by Michael Grabner. With 3 games left in preseason and 11 before Opening Night Coach Alain Vigneault has a tough job ahead of him figuring out the roster for the upcoming 2016-2017 Season. Defense is going to be a big battle for the 6th and 7th spot since all 4 players, Dylan McIlrath, Brady Skjei, Adam Clendening and John Gilmour will all be vying for those 2 coveted spots.
The Rangers will return to action on Monday at 7:00 pm as they head to Philadelphia to take on Division Rivals the Flyers in their 4th game of preseason.

Today in NYR History October 2, 1981:
Before Mike Rogers came to the Rangers in 1981, only two players in the team`s history — Jean Ratelle and Vic Hadfield — had managed to score 100 points in a season.
So when Rogers, coming off two consecutive 105-point seasons in Hartford, found his way to New York in a four-player trade during the week before the 1981-82 season began, there was a sense that Ratelle and Hadfield might have company in the Rangers` century club.
Rogers did not disappoint, and he had a magical year in racking up 103 points on 38 goals and 65 assists. The highlight of the season was a remarkable 16-game stretch in February and March 1982 in which he scored at least one point in every game. His 16-game streak was a Rangers record that stood for nearly 10 years until broken by Brian Leetch in 1991-92.
By registering 100 points in 1981-82, Rogers became only the third player in NHL history to score 100 points in his first three NHL seasons (joining Wayne Gretzky and Peter Stastny). Only one other player — Mario Lemieux — has managed to do it since. Rogers` 1981-82 performance also enabled the Rangers to join four of the other five Original Six teams in claiming at least one 100-point scorer in their respective histories.
The 100th point came in the 78th game of the season on an unassisted goal at 6:16 of the first period in Chicago. The Rangers went on to win the game 4-1 with Rogers` historic goal standing up as the game-winner.
Rogers remained with the Rangers for three more full seasons and posted totals of 76, 61 and 64 points during that time. Although these numbers were strong, Rogers had raised the bar so high as to make them look like subpar seasons. Nevertheless, over the course of his 316 games with the Rangers, he averaged nearly a point per game, and will be remembered as one of the slickest centers the franchise has ever known.
