The Rangers persisted throughout a black-and-blue battle against the Predators, but didn’t do enough on the scoreboard.
It was a miracle that every Rangers skater played until the final minute of this 2-1 loss to the Predators, who received both their goals Saturday night at Bridgestone Arena from players who were recalled from their AHL affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals, in the past couple of weeks.
Tensions began to escalate in the second period, which the Rangers entered trailing by a goal. After Vincent Trocheck rang one off the post on the power play early on, the Predators doubled their lead to 2-1 just a few minutes later, when center Mark Jankowski buried a feed following a successful keep-in by the home team.
The Rangers are in a precarious position when it comes to injuries and their depth. They are already carrying 23 players when it would be in their best interest to cut it to 22 in order to accrue as much cap space as possible in anticipation of the trade deadline. But injuries just keep popping up, so the Rangers really don’t have a choice.
