NHL Power Rankings: Which Teams Are Lighting Up the Ice and Which Are Hanging by a Thread After a Quarter Season
25. New York Rangers, 10-10-2
Last week: 14
Sean: 24
Dom: 26
Green flag: Their ability to defend
No team allows fewer goals at five-on-five than the Rangers (1.77 per 60). They’re tied for second-best in expected goals against, too (2.25 per 60). How is this team 26th in points percentage?
Red flag: Their ability to score
That’s how. They’re middle-of-the-pack in expected goals percentage and fifth from the bottom in goals per 60. J.T. Miller, phantom backcheck aside, embodies their issues — he’s been solid defensively but has generated next to nothing with the puck.
