The New York Rangers have won the 2017 Stanley Cup. April Fool’s.
In reality, the Blueshirts are struggling to win games both home and away. The Rangers are now 3-3-4 in their last 10 and continue to struggle at home losing eight straight in front of the MSG crowd.
In a game that had major playoff implications, the Rangers played a decent game. Henrik Lundqvist looked to be back in form with no defensive help whatsoever.
Having Ryan McDonagh out of the lineup proved to be costly as the defense struggled throughout all three periods.
