The L.A. Kings currently hold the last spot in the NHL with 37 points. After last night’s action that leaves the Rangers just 4 points away between them and a generational talent like Jack Hughes or Kaapo Kakko. New York also holds the tie breaker with 12 regulation and OT wins, the lowest in the NHL.
Last night’s defeat to the Islanders was their 5th consecutive loss and their 8th in the last 10 games. They have outshot their opponents only twice in that span and are a -66 in shots for. If we are honest, it looks like it is going to get worse.
