It’s been a relatively successful start to what was supposed to be a difficult rebuilding season for the Rangers. While they’re not in a playoff spot, they’re only a point out of the wild card right now.
Henrik Lundqvist continues to be stable in the net. His .920 isn’t going to win any awards but is well within the “solid starter” range, and the 588 shots he’s faced (5th most in the league) in 18 games would seem like an obscene number if this weren’t a Senators blog.
Special teams haven’t been great.
