"The Rangers continue to find ways to get points but not actually win games, keeping them right in the middle of the pack in terms of points percentage. This makes them not good enough for a playoff spot but not bad enough to fully tank and get a top pick. Now the Rangers get Adam Fox back, and in theory this should make them better. Thing is, the Rangers looked exactly the same with and without him, at least in terms of wins and losses."
"For those that weren't around for the dark ages of 1998-2004, this is basically what it felt like.

Game time is 7pm."
The Rangers keep accumulating points without converting enough wins, leaving them mid-pack in points percentage. The current position is neither playoff-caliber nor poor enough to secure a high draft pick. Adam Fox returns to the lineup, yet team results appear unchanged with him back. Fox remains the lone consistently driving offensive player. The roster and defensive pairings are outlined, with Jonathan Quick starting in goal. The Hurricanes' lines and defense are also listed, and Charlie Lindgren is starting for them. The game is scheduled to begin at 7pm.
