It’s the last day of 2023, here are how the standings are looking as the calendar is about to switch over.
New York Rangers (2-1-0): The Rangers took care of business this week with a pair of 5-1 victories over Washington and then last night against Tampa. In between, they dropped a 4-3 game to Florida, but overall remain in first place and are a fair bit above the mayhem and jockeying that is going on down in the pack.
Carolina (3-0-0): The Hurricanes are starting to make their move.
