The past few days around the NHL have seen some enormous trades by contending teams. But nothing from the New York Rangers. Not yet, at least.
Entering Monday, the Rangers are tied with the Penguins for second in the Metropolitan Division, three points behind Carolina.
The Rangers have a really good team. Their defensive group is as good as it gets in the NHL, and their forwards are solid. They aren’t scoring at will like other teams, but their goal suppression has been terrific all season; the Rangers rank third in the NHL, allowing 2.51 goals per game.
