Welcome to the New York Rangers' new home, the MassMutual NHL East Division. This year, the Rangers share a division with the Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres, New Jersey Devils, New York Islanders, Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Washington Capitals. So, it’s the Metropolitan Division we know and loathe but swap out the Columbus Blue Jackets for the Bruins and the Carolina Hurricanes for the Sabres. That simplifies things a bit, right?
As a result of the structure of this unique season, we’re going to get to know the teams of the East Division very well.
