The Rangers had better hope this lost weekend represents a bottoming out, because if not, then how low will they go?

One night after a team-wide breakdown in discipline cost them a game in Toronto to a bad Maple Leafs team, the Blueshirts experienced a total eclipse of the heart in Sunday’s 3-1 Garden defeat to an inferior Oilers club that has the NHL’s worst defensive numbers.

“A lot of it was kind of the same as [Saturday]. We were chasing pucks and losing battles,” said Marc Staal, who struggled mightily. “We came out flat and then they just kept coming at us.

“It was unacceptable,” said No. 18. “It was a wake-up call for us.”

Henrik Lundqvist, blameless, disagreed. He said the alarm had rung before.

“It might be our second or third wake-up call,” said The King.
