UNIONDALE, New York (Ticker) -- The New York Rangers look to end their five-game losing streak when they visit the New York Islanders on Tuesday.

The Rangers continued their struggles on Saturday as they dropped a 4-3 decision to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Matin Straka, Blair Betts and Aaron Ward each had goals for the Rangers, who squandered a three-goal lead during the final period.

Rick DiPietro made 26 saves and recorded his ninth career shutout to lead the Islanders to a 4-0 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday.

It was DiPietro's second shutout this month and third of the season.

This is the third meeting of the season between the Atlantic Division rivals. The Islanders have won the first two by a combined score of 11-5.
