Following a tough couple of games, the New York Rangers were back at home on Monday night, hosting the Los Angeles Kings. With this being a matchup against the Kings, that meant the return of Artemi Panarin to MSG.

With a desire to bounce back from a couple of losses on the road, the Rangers did not get off to a good start in this one. New York has been really strong at home, especially early in games. Unfortunately, that was not the case in this one.

Taylor Ward would get things going for the Kings, scoring his first goal of the season on a breakaway. Los Angeles would strike again pretty quickly, this time with a goal coming from Brandt Clarke, which was his third of the year.

The Rangers would get one back with a great pass from Tye Kartye and some good skate control by J.T. Miller to knock it in. However, despite some momentum, it was the Kings who would once again score to make it a 3-1 game.…
