Tomorrow, the Rangers will come out of the Christmas break and they find themselves in a very tough spot. They are 2-3-4 in their last 9 games, compiling 8 out of a possible 18 points. They currently find themselves just 5 points from the cellar of the league and 7 points from the last wild card spot. The Blueshirts have had a tough stretch of games, including games against juggernauts in the forms of Winnipeg, Tampa, and Toronto.
Showing Heart
Even though they played with the heart, that was not enough to win any of those three games, as they picked up just one point out of a possible six in the game against Winnipeg (a game they had no business being in).
