Just past the quarter way mark of the new season and the New York Rangers are in bad shape. They are tied for the second fewest number of wins (5), are tied for fifth worst in goals scored (35), and have a power play operating at an 12.28%% conversion rate. This from a team that scored the fifth most goals (233) and had the sixth best power play (22.91%) last year.
