Game 82 of 82, what an incredible ride this record-breaking regular season has been for the New York Rangers. With 54 wins on the year heading into tonight’s matchup, the Rangers were one win away from clinching the Division, the Conference, and the Presidents’ Trophy. As a result, this was set to be the most important game of the regular season for the Rangers in terms of controlling their destiny. While the Presidents’ Trophy isn’t necessarily the trophy you set your sights on, it would mean that no matter what, the Rangers would have home ice advantage as long as they are in the playoffs.
