RANGERS VS SHARKS POST GAME WRAP UP 10/23

RANGERS DOWNED BY SHARKS 4-1

Another game, another early goal that hurt the Rangers big time. While on a delayed penalty to J.T Miller the Sharks took a 1-0 lead just under 2 minutes into the game when Logan Couture fired one through traffic and behind Henrik Lundqvist. From there on the Rangers were to battle from behind, a situation far too familiar this season. San Jose scored another 3 unanswered goals to come out on top 4-1. Mika Zibanejad scored the lone Rangers goal bringing his total to 6 on the season.

Martin Jones goaltender for San Jose was like a brick wall stopping 33 of 34 shots he faced including stymying the Rangers on 6 power play attempts. San Jose has now stopped 30 of 31 power play attempts against.

The Rangers fell to 2-6-2 with 4 points.
