Rangers lose 6th straight playoff game on home ice
Broadway hasn't been kind to the New York Rangers.
The Manhattan squad dropped its sixth straight playoff game at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, as the Rangers fell 3-1 to the Montreal Canadiens.
It's been nearly two years since the Rangers captured a postseason victory in front of their home crowd, with that win coming in Game 7 of a second-round series against the Washington Capitals on May 13, 2015:
| Game | Date | Opponent | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Apr 16 2017 | Canadiens | L 3-1 |
| 2 | Apr 21 2016 | Penguins | L 5-0 |
| 3 | Apr 19 2016 | Penguins | L 3-1 |
| 4 | May 29 2015 | Lightning | L 2-0 |
| 5 | May 24 2015 | Lightning | L 2-0 |
| 6 | May 18 2015 | Lightning | L 6-2 |
Just 11 of the 18 Rangers who skated that night, plus goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, remain with the club less than two years later.
The Rangers are now down 2-1 in their series against the Canadiens. The two sides split the first two games in Montreal before the Rangers' loss at home on Sunday. Game 4 comes Tuesday in New York.
