With the NHL season just over a third of the way complete for most teams, analytically-inclined organizations will begin to draw from the sample size seen of most players to consider lineup and roster tweaks (or to stay the course) heading into the new year. At the very least, splits can be monitored to see which teams and players are improving or declining compared to the start of the season, which can also help contribute to decisions. The Rangers should be no different, however the challenge may be to find the positives in what is tracking to be a historically bad team with good goaltending and shooting.
