The New York Rangers scored five goals in a game for the second time this season. This was an aberration and it came against the third worst defensive team in the league. The Rangers’ offense is still sorely lacking.
In nine games, at even strength, they have scored all of 19 goals. They are averaging 2.56 goals per game, worst of any team in the Metropolitan Division and good for eighth from the bottom in the NHL. Their scoring stats are awful, yet they are averaging 33 shots per game, tenth best in the entire league and second best in the Division.
