New York Rangers

USA

The Rangers are in the top-6 in the East with a total of 73 points. The competition for the playoffs is very tight, so the Rangers can't afford to make any mistakes in the remaining games of the regular season. New York are avoiding long losing streaks and recently haven't suffered more than two defeats in a row.

After losing to Pittsburgh (0:1) and Vancouver (2:5), New York got the upper hand over St. Louis (5:3). Gerard Gallant's men lost only five home games in regulation this season, and on average they scored three goals per game.

New Jersey Devils

New Jersey lack consistency throughout the season. The Devils like to play on collision course and often forget about their defenses. Due to poor results, the team have no chance of making it to the playoffs.
