The New York Rangers secured a much-needed win against the San Jose Sharks, the current worst team in the NHL, scoring six goals and firing 33 shots. This victory improved their playoff position, marking a significant bounce-back after a prior loss to the Anaheim Ducks. With the win boosting their playoff odds to 36.5%, the Rangers face challenges ahead, needing to consistently win against weaker opponents to solidify their standings. The team's past struggles against lower-tier teams highlight the importance of these crucial wins.
You absolutely should not be standings watching, but for those of you sickos who are: yes, the Rangers are back in playoff position after collecting that win and those two points.
This was a dominant win, in a game the Rangers absolutely needed to win-especially after the catastrophe that was the previous night's game against the Anaheim Ducks.
That win bumped the Rangers playoff odds to a whopping 36.5 percent chance. That's a little better than a one-in-three chance of the elevator crashing to the ground floor.
If you're the Rangers, you absolutely must win these games against objectively bad teams. They lost to the Chicago Blackhawks and the Nashville Predators earlier this season.
