The New York Rangers have lost eight games in a row at home (0-5-3), including 4-3 in a shootout against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday, and are looking for their first win at Madison Square Garden since Feb. 19. New York, which is seven points behind the Penguins for third place in the Metropolitan Division with four games remaining, will be without captain Ryan McDonagh for a second straight game. He is day to day with an undisclosed injury, coach Alain Vigneault said, and hasn't been on the ice with the team since Tuesday, when he played 25:34 in a 5-4 overtime loss at the San Jose Sharks. Vigneault said McDonagh has been dealing with a lingering injury, but there is no reason to rush him back because the Rangers aren't likely to move out of the first wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Eastern Conference. "He'll come back when he's 100 percent," Vigneault said. "He's real close to being 100 percent but considering our situation right now he's going to take the time." Henrik Lundqvist will make his fourth straight start. He made 32 saves on 35 shots against Pittsburgh.
