While a third straight win won’t do anything for their lottery standings, you can see the positive effect the wins are having on the New York Rangers and that is something to build on for next season.
Watching Mika Zibanejad, Chris Kreider and Pavel Buchnevich in action is hope for the future. The trio is clicking and their joy in their linemates’ success is infectious. Though beating the Flyers the day after they were eliminated from the playoffs isn’t any kind of milestone, the fact is that they have won two in a row and three out of five.
