One of the starkest anomalies of the 2018-19 Rangers season was a 12-game stretch that lasted from early January to early February. From games 42 through 53, the Rangers went 6-5-1 with five regulation wins and one overtime loss. They were a 50% Corsi (shot attempts) team at 5v5, which is average, while being nearly a 53% Expected Goals (scoring chances) team per Corsica – which, season-long, is a top-10 figure for an NHL team. How did this happen? In short, the Rangers did start creating more offense, but the massive turnaround was the limiting of shots and chances against.
