Rangers have two choices for final forward spot as playoffs approach
NY Post
With five games remaining on their regular-season calendar, the Rangers wake up Sunday morning five points ahead of the Hurricanes in the Metropolitan Division and with a points on the Bruins for the No. 1 spot in the Eastern Conference.
They still lead the entire NHL with 108 points.
Outscoring their opponents 66-47 since the beginning of March, the Blueshirts haven’t lost two in a row over that span.
Wins have come in all different forms, the most recent one on the backs of the bottom six, which totaled three goals in the Rangers’ 4-3 win in Detroit.
“Going into the playoffs, we need everyone,” said Barclay Goodrow, who now has three goals in four games after he scored twice on Friday. “You can’t rely on your top six every night to get the offense. It was good to be able to help.”
The 12th and final forward spot in the Rangers’ playoff lineup has seemingly come down to two fourth-line skaters — Jonny Brodzinski and Matt Rempe — who give the team two different looks whenever they play.

LAS VEGAS — It’s smart for a coach to stump for his players. They probably appreciate it because, as we can all attest, a plea for recognition is delivered better when it comes from somebody else.
For the New York Giants (among others), identifying the right head coach has become an unsolvable Rubik’s Cube.
