And it continued before Thursday night’s resumption of hostilities at the Garden against the Devils, as Peter Laviolette reconstructed his lineup once again.

The Rangers take on the Devils tonight at MSG. New York was blown out by New Jersey in their first two matchups. It gets no easier for the Blueshirts, as the team heads to Vegas on Saturday and Colorado on Tuesday.

Vincent Trocheck gave the Rangers a 4-3 lead with just over seven minutes remaining when he tipped in a Mika Zibanejad shot from in front of the net — occupying the power-play spot that usually belongs to an injured Chris Kreider — for his second goal of the game to snap a brutal 1-for-31 stretch from the unit.

The New York Rangers entered Sunday's game against the Chicago Blackhawks having fallen several games below the .500 mark after an inexplicable slide.

The Rangers beat a team by more than two goals for the first time in almost two months in a 6-2 rout of the Blackhawks.
