The Rangers Aren't Fighting Because They Don't Need To

note: If you're a staunch, unyielding traditionalist in regards to fighting in hockey, this one isn't for you.

The Detroit Red Wings, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Montreal Canadiens are the only teams in the league that have less fighting majors than the New York Rangers do in the 2015-16 season. That is because each of those teams has been assessed just a single fighting major thus far this season. The Blueshirts and the Minnesota Wild have been a little more bellicose: they have each had two fighting majors.
