NEW YORK RANGERS POST GAME REPORT: RANGERS VS SABRES 1/3

Listless Rangers fall to Sabres 4-1

Looking as though they didn't expect to play tonight the Rangers played a lackluster game against the Sabres and paid for it dearly. Unable to get any momentum in the first period and not registering a shout on goal for the first 10 minutes set the tempo for the game.

Although the Rangers came out firing in the second they could only capitalize once on Nick holden's 8th of the season. Trailing going into the third by 2 the Rangers put themselves in the hole by taking numerous penalties and didn't register a shot until 5:28 left in regulation.

Henrik Lundqvist had a horrible night in net stopping only 15 of 19 shots on goal.

Prior to the game it was announced by the Rangers that Forward Matt Puempel will be out indefinetly with concussion symptoms.

Rangers return to action tomorrow night in Philadelphia taking on division rival Flyers.
