The Rangers have three points in their last two games and actually won a game over the weekend. They look much better on the ice, which isn’t a surprise now that Adam Fox is back on the blue line and Igor Shesterkin is back in net. But this team is still a bottom-5 team in the NHL and still has trouble winning in regulation at home, which is where they face the Blue Jackets, a team that should be far worse than the Rangers, but aren’t.
This may be Vincent Trocheck’s last game as a Ranger.
