There’s still Rangers hope to be had — but the clock is ticking loudly
NY Post
Despite the seven-goal goal Festivus the Rangers threw in Washington on Tuesday, the holiday month was short on joy and cheer.
A 4-4-2 record in their last 10 games sent the Blueshirts into a three-day holiday break without much more inspiration than the first 29 games of the regular season provided.
That record is as middling as it gets, much like the Rangers 2025-26 campaign as a whole thus far.
The obstacles have come in bunches and in all different forms. It’s only made the lineup deficiencies that much more glaring.
Then you realize the Rangers are just below the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. A mediocre Metropolitan Division has them right within striking distance of a playoff spot.
Despite a record-breaking amount of shutout losses at home, owning the fifth lowest goals per game average (2.62) and a plethora of injuries, the Rangers are very much still afloat.
