The Rangers have finally hit a soft spot in the schedule, with a hard fought –albeit relatively sloppy– win against Ottawa the other night to kick things off. Now they are in Glendale to take on the pretty terrible Arizona Coyotes. And I do mean terrible, they have 27 points this season. The Colorado Avalanche, the Saturday night opponent, have 25 points.
Suffice it to say, this is the time when the Rangers need to start focusing on proper process again, as they’ve been slacking over the past few games. They can get away with it against the Senators, Avs, and Yotes, but playoff teams will run all over them.
