NY Rangers Game 66 Open Thread: Rangers at Minnesota

The Rangers have won three in a row, a task we didn’t think possible. Now they welcome back JT Miller into the fold, though the lineup decisions coming with his return are questionable at best. The Blueshirts are in Minnesota as well, facing one of the better teams in the Western Conference and easily the best team they’ve faced in this run. It’s a true test for the new top line that’s looked incredibly against the opposition’s top lines in this run.

It’s valid to be snarky that the Rangers are finally winning games, however it’s been the youth driving the success, which bodes well for the future. Let’s see what happens with Miller back in the lineup and think big picture here.
