As the season moves into the home stretch, the New York Rangers are fighting for their playoff lives. Clearly a flawed team, the Rangers shocked many with their run in February –and extended period of solid play extending back to December– that put them in this position. Yet after three straight losses, it’s clear there is something missing.
Since the trade deadline, the Rangers have looked a little off in four of their five games, three of them being losses. The St. Louis game was a return to form, although it still ended in a loss.
