- They were 2-4 against top-10 opponents entering Sunday.

## Summary

The Rangers beat the Kraken 4-3 after nearly surrendering a four-goal lead, exposing a weakness in how they handle momentum swings. With Edmonton and Connor McDavid next, they face a timely test of whether they can stay composed when an opponent shifts the game’s momentum.

Pavel Dorofeyev scored in his second straight game, and Seattle managed only five high-danger chances through the first two periods before Kaapo Kakko scored early in the third. The Rangers then conceded twice more; entering Sunday, they were 2-4 against the six top-10 teams they had faced, with both wins coming against Tampa Bay. Coach Mike Sullivan said the team plays best with a simple, fast game that keeps opponents defending and stresses controlled, physical play in their own zone.
