Last week, we took a look at which forward lines and combinations had been the best for the New York Rangers this season. Given the recent injury to Kevin Shattenkirk and the pending return of Adam McQuaid, it felt like a perfect time to take a closer look at the Rangers’ greatest weakness — the blue line.
When we looked at the performance of the Rangers’ forward lines we paid close attention to each trio’s Corsi and expected goals. That gave us a general idea of how each line fared in regards to possession and overall play.
