12 goals?!
That’s it. 12 goals!? Maybe I am overreacting but……
It’s tough to get wrapped up in the preseason. However, scoring 12 goals in six games is something that may be a little alarming. I know, the team is still meshing and working on chemistry, but a lack of scoring is something that is always a concerning.
The Rangers ended their North American tour today with a 4-2 loss to NJ at the Garden. Top liners Markus Naslund and Nikolai Zherdev both netted goals in the effort.
Henrik Lundqvist was not as his best, allowing 4 goals on 12 shots. No, I am worried about Henrik. Backup Steve Valiquette was a perfect 11 for 11.
The Blueshirts now head to Europe for two more preseason battles with SC Bern and Metallurg Magnitogorsk. No idea what the over/under for those games are.
