Rangers match Golden Knights for longest home win streak of season
The New York Rangers are lighting up Broadway.
With a shootout victory over Vancouver on Sunday, the Blueshirts extended their home winning streak to eight games. That matched the Vegas Golden Knights' active eight-game home win streak (8-0-0 from Oct. 15 to Nov. 25) for the longest such run this season.
New York's streak began Oct. 26 against Arizona, and includes wins over Vegas, Columbus, Boston, Edmonton, Ottawa, Detroit, and Vancouver.
Meanwhile, Vegas has posted a record of 9-1-0 on home ice this season, with wins over Boston, Buffalo, St. Louis, Chicago, Colorado, Winnipeg, Los Angeles, and San Jose during the current run of success.
The Rangers will be presented with a chance to extend their streak on Tuesday against Florida, while the Golden Knights will host Dallas that same night.
