The New York Rangers haven’t looked very good so far this preseason. Then again, they have yet to field their regular lineup, preferring to give their young prospects a chance to get some NHL level experience. That has to stop.
There is one big reason for the Rangers to give their regulars to play together with only three games left before the opener against Winnipeg. The reason is that the Rangers’ October schedule is just plain bizarre.
They open the season at home on Thursday, October 3 and then play on the road in Ottawa on Saturday, October 5.
