For those doing the math, that's a 23-7-1 record since the All Star break. In that span, the Rangers have put themselves in a position to clinch home ice advantage throughout the playoffs, still controlling their own destiny. If they win their last two games, they clinch.
The 'worry' here is Carolina, as dipping below the Hurricanes in standings would mean losing the division, conference, and President's Trophy. Home ice throughout the playoffs isn't a necessity, but it would benefit the Rangers far more this year than in year's past.
