The New York Rangers get busy in a hurry with three games in the next five nights. The first game is important for the Ranger’s playoff hopes. With Pittsburgh losing their first game back from the break, a Ranger win can pull them within seven points of the last wild card slot, closest they have been in weeks.
While the Pittsburgh loss was a positive for the Rangers’s playoff picture, it was a good night for their lottery standings as well.
The Lottery Look
There were only two games on the first night after the break and they were both very good for the New York Rangers lottery aspirations.
