Rangers president John Davidson, in an interview Wednesday on MSG Network’s “MSG 150’’ show, said the Rangers, who were two points out of a playoff spot when the NHL paused its season on March 12 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, have been better than he expected them to be in 2019-20.

“I would have been surprised,’’ Davidson told host Bill Pidto when asked what he would have thought last summer of the idea that the still-rebuilding Rangers would be this close to a playoff spot.
