The New York Rangers are one of 24 teams that will be competing for the Stanley Cup as they will look to beat the Carolina Hurricanes in the qualifying round in order to move into the next round of the playoffs.
The Rangers are in this fortunate position because several of the team’s players stepped up when it mattered most. Pavel Buchnevich falls into this category.
Buchnevich’s time in the NHL has been peculiar, to say the least. The Rangers selected him in the third round of the 2013 Draft with the pick they acquired from the Columbus Blue Jackets as part of the Rick Nash trade.
