There were five games in the NHL tonight, all featuring lottery contenders. They were going up against some of the best teams in the league so the key word of the night was “upset.” The four teams that needed an upset got one. The fifth game was between two lottery teams…so they needed to go to overtime. They did.
What it means is the Rangers moved down one slot and are now the 8th worst team in the NHL, five points better than the Kings, last overall.
