The Rangers have just one point in two games, and for some that’s reason enough to write them off. Not us though, as the Rangers have shown good process at even strength for both games. As that continues, the wins will come. Good process breed good results.
However the Rangers do need to stay out of the penalty box. They have taken too many penalties and their penalty kill is atrocious right now. Stay out of the box, get into a rhythm, and watch the points pile up. Montreal is as good a place as any to start.
