Final
Rangers look to end dismal stretch vs. Blues
Feb 16, 2009 - 2:57 PM NY Rangers (30-21-6) at St. Louis (23-25-7), 7:00 p.m. ESTST. LOUIS (Ticker) -- The New York Rangers can begin trying to silence their critics away from home, where they have been routinely booed of late.
After losing seven of eight, the reeling Rangers visit the St. Louis Blues on Monday.
New York suffered a second-period collapse in which it surrendered four goals in a span of just over 7 1/2 minutes during Sunday's 5-2 loss to Philadelphia.
Offense has been a major issue for the Rangers, who have been held to two goals or less in their current eight-game swoon. They fell, 2-1, in a shootout to the Florida Panthers on Friday and then did not have enough fire to negate a shoddy defensive showing against the Flyers.
Meanwhile, St. Louis is coming off Friday's 1-0 triumph over the Chicago Blackhawks, which began a stretch of playing four of six at home.
The Blues, who are 14-11-4 at home this season, have been propelled by the breakout of Brad Boyes. The All-Star scored the lone goal in their last victory and has recorded 13 points in his last eight games.
