The New York Rangers were expected to turn the page on what was a forgetful 2024-25 season. The hope was that Mike Sullivan would bring them back into Stanley Cup contention. Thus far, the results aren't there, at least consistently.
Through 41 games, the Rangers are 19-17-5 with 43 points. As of Tuesday, the Rangers are just one point back of the second Wild Card in the Eastern Conference. Even though they are still in the mix, it's hard to get a feel whether they are legitimate contenders or not. When they win, they look good. But when they lose, it's hard to watch.
