The Rangers are in Columbus to finish up their back to back, looking for their 11th win in a row and set a new franchise record. This win streak has really set the Rangers apart from the rest of the Metro Division as they look to build confidence and gear up for the playoffs. Columbus is in sell mode, but they are still beating teams and making life difficult for opponents that overlook them.

Luckily for the Rangers, they can’t look past Columbus because they play them again on Wednesday. Their M.O. all season has been to win the high-danger chance battle and rely on goaltending and their powerplay to get them over the top. When both were faltering, they were exposed. Both are now firing on all cylinders, and while the Rangers don’t look perfect, they look great.
