While two weeks of the NHL season does not seem like a ton of time to draw any final conclusions, it is something. Instead of just preseason conjecture, there is actual New York Rangers hockey to evaluate and formulate theories. The team has gotten off to a slow 1-3-0 start but is beginning to take shape.
The team’s lineup still has yet to be set in stone or find any real chemistry. Even the Mika Zibanejad, Chris Kreider and Pavel Buchnevich line that was so good last year did not play well early on and subsequently was broken up.
