The Rangers will miss the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the second consecutive year.
New York’s hopes of advancing to the postseason this year were dashed after they suffered a defeat against Toronto, with a final score of 3-4 in an NHL regular season contest.
This particular loss marked the sixth straight defeat for the team under the guidance of coach Mike Sullivan.
The franchise from New York has now failed to qualify for the Stanley Cup tournament for the second season running.
Presently, the Rangers occupy the very bottom spot, 16th, in the Eastern Conference standings, having accumulated 65 points through 72 games played.
In the preceding season, the New Yorkers finished eleventh in the conference, securing 85 points across 82 total matches.
