Utbeaten and shut out at home – again. It's almost laughable, says New York Rangers Mika Zibanejad to Expressen.

0–2 loss to Edmonton was New York Rangers' third straight home game without a goal in NHL ice hockey.

Thus, they beat Florida's "record" from the 2001-02 season with the longest goal drought at home from the start of a season, among active teams, writes Expressen.

"We want goals", chanted the fans at the end of the second period, according to Aftonbladet.

But no goals came for the home team.

Instead, Trent Frederic (1-0) and Adam Henrique (2-0) became match winners for Edmonton along with goalkeeper Stuart Skinner who saved all 30 shots.

I think we play better than they do today, I think we were better as a team on Sunday as well, but we don't get the payoff. It's that simple, it's almost laughable, says Mika Zibanejad to Expressen.

The Swedish star center can comfort himself with the fact that it has gone better on away ice. There, Rangers have scored ten goals in two games and just as many wins.
