"In a season that is turning into something out of The Twilight Zone, the Rangers who ironically have the best road record in the NHL to date have become the first team to be shut out in five of their first seven home games since the 1928-29 Pittsburgh hockey Pirates, according to Sportsnet Stats, as their home record has now slipped to 0-6-1."
"Miller continued that the Rangers allowed two many two-on-ones and didn't capitalize on their looks. They out-attempted the Islanders 22-9 in the third period, according to Natural Stat Trick. The Rangers had a 4-1 advantage in high-danger chances in the frame, and 73.2% of the expected goal share. By then, the Islanders had already tilted the game in their favor."
The New York Rangers have failed to win at Madison Square Garden, starting the season 0-6-1 with five shutouts in seven home games. The team lost 5-0 to the New York Islanders, falling into the worst home start in franchise history. The Rangers paradoxically hold the NHL's best road record while struggling at home. The team was the first to be shut out five times in its first seven home games since the 1928-29 Pittsburgh hockey Pirates. The Rangers created high-danger chances late but failed to convert and allowed key goals from Islanders scorers.
