The New York Rangers are likely to finish in either second or third place this season, which means they’ll face off against the team that holds the other spot in the first round of the playoffs.
At this point, there’s an 80% chance per Playoff Status that it will be the New Jersey Devils.
Coming into action this week, the Blueshirts (43-20-10) are four points behind the Devils (46-19-8) for second place in the Metropolitan Division. Whoever claims that spot will get home-ice advantage in the opening round.
