NEW YORK — The NHL season is less than a month old Alan Quine Jersey Womens , but the New York Rangers and Florida Panthers will be looking to escape some not-so-select company Tuesday night, when the Rangers host the Panthers at Madison Square Garden.Both teams lost their most recent games. The Rangers dropped a 4-1 decision to the visiting Calgary Flames on Sunday night. The host Panthers fell to the Detroit Red Wings, 4-3, in overtime on Saturday night.The defeats continued frustrating months for the Rangers (2-5-1), who have one regulation/overtime win, and Panthers (1-2-3), who have yet to win outside of the shootout. Only two other teams — the rebuilding Red Wings and the Arizona Coyotes, who have missed the playoffs the last six seasons — have one regulation/overtime win or fewer.Article continues below ...The loss to the Flames was only the second one this season in which the Rangers fell by more than one goal, but dropping a game that they controlled offensively is nothing new for New York, which outshot Calgary 45-26 and is outshooting opponents 275-266 thus far.“I feel like these types of games are starting to add up, unfortunately Petr Mrazek Jersey Womens ,” Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist said Sunday night. “We are playing good enough to win games, but we are not finding ways to win games. It’s obviously something we need to change fast.”The Panthers have gotten off to an even more agonizing start. All of Florida’s losses have been by one goal. In hopes of changing up his team’s fortunes, head coach Bob Boughner tinkered with his back end at practice Monday, when he partnered Keith Yandle with Alexander Petrovic and Aaron Ekblad with Mike Matheson.The Panthers have allowed 25 goals, which was tied for ninth most in the NHL entering play Monday night.“We’re just trying different things,” Boughner told reporters following practice. “We could have four or five wins and have been to overtime five times. Those are fine lines in having a better record than it is. At this point of the season, I’m still looking for that extra level of protecting leads, playing a complete 60 (minutes). I want to see us respond.”Michael Hutchinson, who has been splitting time in net for the Panthers with James Reimer while starter Roberto Luongo recovers from a knee injury, will start at goalie Tuesday night. Hutchinson took the loss Saturday night, when he stopped 27 shots against the Red Wings.The Rangers are likely to counter with Lundqvist Jordan Schroeder Jersey Womens , who has started seven of eight games this season, including the last five in a row. Lundqvist was saddled with the loss Sunday night after recording 22 saves against the Flames.Hutchinson is 1-1-0 in three career appearances against the Rangers. Lundqvist is 24-10-3 in 38 games against the Panthers.The game Tuesday concludes a brief two-game homestand for the Rangers and starts a multi-country road trip for the Panthers, who visit the New York Islanders and New Jersey Devils on Wednesday and Saturday before playing a pair of games against the Winnipeg Jets in Finland on Nov. 1-2. One hoodoo vexed, another one on deck.Saturday, the Detroit Red Wings won 4-2 over the Boston Bruins, their first win at Boston’s TD BankNorth Garden in 12 games, a skid that stretched back into 2014. The Wings caught a battered, injury-depleted Bruins team at the right time and took advantage of it.Nixing the next hex won’t come so easily.Article continues below ...The Tampa Bay Lightning arrive at Little Caesars Arena with 12 straight wins over the Wings and 16 victories in the last 17 games. And the Lightning are hot. Monday’s 5-1 verdict over the New Jersey Devils was their second win on this three-game road trip and their sixth win the last seven games.“We’re a confident group,” defenseman Victor Hedman told the Tampa Bay Times.Saturday, Tampa Bay stormed back from a four-goal deficit to take a 5-4 overtime decision from the Florida Panthers. “We have a belief in our group that even if we’re down, we’re not out of it Matt Calvert Jersey Womens ,” Lightning center Brayden Point said.The previous game, Tampa Bay ended the 10-game win streak of the Buffalo Sabres, also by a 5-4 count.Lightning forward Nikita Kucherov is riding a 10-game points streak, and has five three-point games over that span.The Wings lost 2-0 Sunday to the Colorado Avalanche, and they also lost forward Tyler Bertuzzi. He was suspended two games by the NHL for roughing and unsportsmanlike conduct for sucker-punching Avs forward Matt Calvert. Calvert was knocked into the Detroit bench and several Wings grabbed Calvert’s stick and would not let go. Calvert tugged and jabbed with his stick to try and get it free and was pulled into the bench and held by Detroit’s Dylan Larkin. As Larkin held Calvert, Bertuzzi took his right glove off and punched Calvert.Bertuzzi has been among Detroit’s more effective forwards this season. He has points in five of his last eight games and three goals in the last three games.“He’s an agitator,” Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard told Detroit Red Wings.com. “He’s out there and he’s not afraid to give up his body. He’s not afraid to throw it around. That can tick people off.”There’s a chance that some of the Wings could see an old teammate make his NHL debut between the pipes for Tampa Bay. The Lightning recalled goalie Eddie Pasquale from AHL Syracuse. Louis Domingue, filling in for the injured Andrei Vasilevskiy, has started 11 games in a row and the thinking is that in the second back of back to backs, he might be given the night off. In 2016-17, Pasquale played 29 games for Detroit’s AHL farm club in Grand Rapids and among his teammates that season were current Detroit forwards Bertuzzi Cale Makar Jersey Womens , Martin Frk, and Anthony Mantha and defensemen Nick Jensen and Dennis Cholowski.“I’m at that point in my career where it’s starting to wind down and I’m just looking for a chance,” said Pasquale, 28, an eight-season pro.The Lightning sent Pasquale, who’d sat on the bench and watched Domingue play for seven games in a row, back for a brief AHL stint to knock the rust off, but Tampa Ba coach Jon Cooper wouldn’t commit to whether he was planning to go with Pasquale in Tuesday’s game. “We take things one game at a time here,” Cooper said.
