The Rangers continue to come out on the losing side of these low-event games.

In another low-scoring affair on Monday night, the Blueshirts may have been able to end their three-game goalless streak, but they couldn’t pull out the win as they fell 3-1 to the Wild.

The loss counted as their fifth through eight games so far this season. In all five defeats, the Rangers have been limited to one or no goals.

“We scored early, which was great,” head coach Mike Sullivan said after the Rangers remained winless through their first four home games. “But I thought we got outplayed. We got outplayed all night.”

Minnesota notched the game-winning goal less than halfway through the third period, when rookie Danila Yurov jammed in the rebound off a wraparound shot from Marcus Johansson for his first NHL goal.

This loss went differently for the Rangers than the others.

It wasn’t a matter of puck luck or a bounce going their way, but one of the first cases of the team getting heavily outworked.

The Wild controlled the pace of play for nearly the entire game, dominating puck possession and winning the majority of puck battles.

“We got to find a way to bear down in those tight 2-1 games when — let’s be honest — we didn’t deserve to win, but that was a game we could have stolen,” Rangers captain J.T. Miller said. “It’s happened to us so far, just not good enough. We know that. We’re gonna turn the page and move on to the next one.

“I had two tonight that should have been in the back of that for me, like that game should have been 2-1. We should have been playing with the lead, and I didn’t bury that. We just got to bear down.”

The Rangers avoided setting a new league record for the longest home-scoring drought to open a season, held by the 1928-29 (now-defunct) Pittsburgh Pirates (187:19).

Coming dangerously close after 180 minutes of scoreless hockey through their first three games at MSG, Artemi Panarin posted the first Rangers goal in the building at 180:57.

Despite struggling to score five-on-five lately, Minnesota hemmed the Rangers in their zone for a majority of the first period.

It allowed the visitors to quickly tie it up at the 5:10 mark, when Jonas Brodin’s shot deflected off Alexis Lafrenière’s stick and in.

The Wild nearly took a 2-1 lead after Vincent Hinostroza batted the puck in out of mid-air, but it was immediately waved off for high sticking. Through the opening 20 minutes, however, Minnesota hung 17 shots on goalie Igor Shesterkin in comparison to six by the Rangers.

The middle frame was much more evenly played, but neither team was able to take a lead.

Noah Laba had a scary moment during a Rangers penalty kill, when the rookie took a slap shot to the face. Needing assistance off the ice, Laba appeared to be gushing blood from his mouth.

Shortly after, the 22-year-old was somehow back on the Rangers bench in a full face shield. Laba ultimately finished the game.

“That’s scary,” Sullivan said. “Any time a player gets hit in the face like that, it’s really scary. Fortunately, it wasn’t too serious. He got stitched up. The fact that he came back, I think, just speaks to his competitiveness, his toughness. But that was a scary moment, for sure.”
