With the win, the Rangers move back to within eight points of a playoff birth with 51 points to the Blue Jackets in the last wild card slot with 59. . They are still in the playoff hunt, though it is important to remember that they are still eight points away from being the worst team in the league.
The Lottery Look
The Rangers beat the Devil and leapfrogged Arizona and Anaheim and are now the 12th worst team in the NHL. Not good for lottery hopes.
The Flyers won their sixth in a row, beating Boston in overtime.
