The New York Rangers continue their free fall in the NHL regular season, far from their outstanding 2023-24 campaign. Another loss, this time to the Florida Panthers, has prompted star Adam Fox, who did not hide his displeasure with the result, to speak out.
The beginning of the current season was not bad for the Rangers, but they are currently facing a 15-game losing streak in their last 19 games, in a crisis that is worsening as the games go on and seems irreversible at the end of the regular season.
The Panthers‘ 5-3 win at Amerant Bank Arena left the Rangers embroiled in a new moment of self-criticism, with resounding statements like star Fox’s highlighting New York’s positive moves despite his frustration.
Fox’s statement after the loss to the Panthers
“At some point, it’s got to be wins. It’s not just, ‘Yeah, did better five-on-five.’ It’s got to be wins. It’s extremely frustrating. If we keep playing games like that, we will get wins. I think that’s really all it is.”, Fox told the media after the Rangers’ loss to the Panthers.
The New York Rangers celebrate a goal scored by Ryan Lindgren #55 of the New York Rangers during the third period against the Anaheim Ducks at Madison Square Garden on October 26, 2024 in New York City. The Rangers won 2-1.
The Rangers’ bad time in the 2024-25 NHL season
The New York Rangers are in last place in the Metropolitan Division with a record of 16-19-1, a slump that comes as something of a surprise after being in contention for first place earlier in the season. The Blueshirts are tied with the Buffalo Sabres for the most losses in the Eastern Conference.
