Are The Rangers For Real?
As of November 29th, the Rangers have the best win percentage of any team in the league – .690 – are seventh overall with 29 points, just three behind the league leading Penguins, and have games in hand on all six teams ahead of them. The have two fewer regulation losses than any other team – 5 – and their 13 wins is just one off the best in the league, again with games in hand on all the teams ahead of them.
Their 8-2-0 record in their last ten – and 10 wins in their last 12 games – trail just Boston – 9-0-1 – in terms of current performance. It’s fair to say the Rangers are amongst the teams to beat in the first quarter of the season.
