Rangers running out of answers to spark dreadful power-play unit
NY Post
Peter Laviolette chuckled as a grin started to spread across his face.
His answer, in a way, was fitting given everything that has gone wrong for the Rangers recently.
They’d just dedicated the final half of practice Sunday to fixing their woeful power play — 2-for-43 over the past 16 games — and taking the latest stab at finding a solution, but when Laviolette fielded a question about whether the Blueshirts can take any positives from what transpired inside their training complex, he started to smile.
“There was a lot of good chances out there to score goals,” Laviolette said. “No goals.”
That’s exactly what happened Saturday during the lifeless debacle of a loss to the Devils, where the Rangers power play couldn’t capitalize on two opportunities and allowed a shorthanded tally.
That happened during their two games prior to that against the Wild and Sharks, too — and in 10 of 11 games overall dating back to March 13.
