"It might be fair to say at this point that when the Rangers step on home ice, they might be in their own heads. Not having a home win and it being early November is an absurd stat that doesn't seem to be getting any better. The Rangers got shutout on home ice again, despite a solid three game stretch out west."
"Their most important forward (Artemi Panarin) was once again held off the scoresheet and now has only recorded points in 4 of 14 games. They made Pyotr Kochetkov look like a Vezina winner amassing only 25 total shots on net, but went a 28 minute stretch where a long range shot was the only one on net. It is so hard to tell which Rangers team is the real Rangers team in these games. It is frustrating to say the least."
The Rangers remain winless at home early in November and suffered another home shutout despite a solid three-game stretch out west. The offense managed only 25 total shots and endured a 28-minute span in which a long-range attempt was the only shot on net. Artemi Panarin has recorded points in just 4 of 14 games and has been largely held off the scoresheet, raising questions about his performance and future contract value. The team shows stark inconsistency between road and home performances. The game began with a 13–5 shot edge before a Hurricanes power-play goal deflated the momentum.
