The Rangers have been consistently getting the results they want since the calendar flipped to 2025. The point streak began Jan. 5 with a 6-2 win at the Chicago Blackhawks. In the past 10 days, they're 4-0-1 with victories against the Devils, Vegas Golden Knights, Utah Hockey Club and Columbus Blue Jackets.

Igor Shesterkin made 27 saves and three more in the shootout as the host New York Rangers earned a crucial 1-0 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night.

Last night, the New York Rangers bested the Columbus Blue Jackets in a defensive battle that reached a shootout after a scoreless game. The shootout went three rounds, with Vincent Trocheck scoring the only goal.

When Drury tried to trade former captain Jacob Trouba in the offseason and the latter refused waive his contract's no-trade clause, there was an effect on the locker room and it could have been the genesis of why the Rangers — the same team that came six wins away from a Stanley Cup within the last 12 months — began to break down.
