The New York Rangers has a rough night on Tuesday. Not only did the team fall further back in the Metropolitan Division standings with a 4-0 loss to the Hurricanes at home, but they also helped validate every part of the blockbuster Mikko Rantanen trade.

Carolina Hurricanes right wing Andrei Svechnikov tallied three points during their 4-0 victory over the New York Rangers on Tuesday evening. Svechnikov would open the scoring in the first minute when he beat New York netminder Igor Shesterkin with a wrist shot.

This former Bruins star is off to a nice start with his new club. On Jan. 25, former Boston Bruins forward Taylor Hall was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes in the monster Mikko Rantanen three-team blockbuster.

Plus the Panthers’ declining rush game, extreme special teams in Vegas and a couple of goalies who are deserving of some recognition.

The Chicago Blackhawks ended up trading Taylor Hall away. However, there is a source that believes that they tried to keep him.
