Rangerboy over on the HFBoards had a few interesting stats.
The Rangers are tied with the Islanders and SJ for fewest games played at 27. The Rangers have the fewest losses in the NHL at 6. 17-6-4.
If the Rangers didn’t blow the 2-1 lead late in the 3rd to TB,the Rangers would be in first place in the Eastern Conference.
Tonight concluded a stretch of 16 straight games against Eastern Conference teams. The Rangers went 12-3-1.
Pretty remarkable numbers right there. 12-3-1 against your own conference…if you think of that in terms of playoffs, that would be heading to the Stanley Cup Finals. Of course that’s not how this works, but still, winning games against good teams on nights you should win are important. And yes, the Rangers should have won this game. It took me all of 5 minutes to realize the Rangers should have won the game. Why? Because Jose Theodore had absolutely zero rebound control tonight. He was kicking out these huge, big, juicy, tasty, succul...

Rangers on point vs. Panthers
After Derek Stepan and the New York Rangers put on one of their most impressive offensive displays of the season, all they could do was tout their defense, grit and hustle.

Rangers-Panthers in review
Not going to get all wrapped up in who did what on a lopsided scoresheet, though I’m sure you all enjoyed the heck out of it, and you should have.
Instead, how about numbers?: 17-6-4, second best record in the improving East and fewest regulation losses in the NHL; 8-2-2 at home. Points in 16 of 19. 24-8-3 in second of back-to-backs since 2009-10. 38 points in 27 games, the...

That is the kind of attitude the New York Rangers should take after beating the Buffalo Sabres and Florida Panthers over the weekend by a combined score of 10-1.
The team is clicking on all cylinders as they are supplying the offense, solid defense and getting timely goaltending from both Henrik Lundqvist by Martin Biron. Put that all together and you have part of the winning formula...
