The Rangers had come into Washington having stopped a four-game losing streak Thursday in Madison Square Garden against Boston. But they couldn’t build on it, and with the loss, the Rangers (17-20-1) have now failed to win consecutive games since they won three straight from Nov. 14-19.

The mounting losses have eroded nearly every part of the Rangers’ game, even the one that was once a foundational piece of their success.
