GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- One of the hottest teams in the NHL was on the ice Tuesday at MSG Training Center, prepping to play Wednesday night at the Garden against their hottest rival -- the one the Rangers have so much trouble beating.
The rebuilding Rangers are surprisingly sitting in second in the Metropolitan Division with 24 points, two behind Columbus. They own a six-game winning streak at home and an 8-1-1 record overall in their last 10 games. The eight wins and 17 points date to Oct. 30 and are both the most in the league in this span.
