Olympics Are Done: Game On!
The Rangers will reassemble Monday for their first practice since the Olympic break started two weeks ago, and they’ll face the daunting prospect of finding a way back into the top eight in the East.
Placed tenth in the conference going into the break, the Blueshirts finished strongly with two wins over the Penguins and Lightning to keep their post season hopes alive. But with just twenty games remaining, they still face an uphill battle to not only pass two teams, but at the same time fend off Atlanta, and to a lesser extent the Panthers and Islanders.
