Returning home with a banged-up roster and season-high four-game losing streak, the New York Rangers may just have the perfect tonic for their ills waiting for them Monday, when they host the St, Louis Blues at Madison Square Garden.
That’s because the Blues (7-9-6; 20 points) are just one of five teams with fewer points in the overall NHL standings than the Rangers (10-11-2; 22 points). Of course, it’s fair to point out that the Rangers previously lost to two of those five teams — the Toronto Maple Leafs and Calgary Flames. So, there is that.
