Rangers has spent the past three seasons working to recognize the Echelon upper teams in NHL, but they completely lost any manifestations of this reputation in the 2024-25 campaign.
The 4-3 loss against Maple Leafs Thursday night in Madison Square Garden was just a last Balooksher's defeat for a club in a position in a separate match this season, which only led to its overcoming in the land cards race at the eastern conference with the inhabitants of the island, Canadians and blue jackets on the same night.
Looking at the Playoff aspirations, Rangers-after going to the 6th of the East Conference Final for the second time in three seasons last year-was supposed to have their interesting efforts against the top-class teams this season.
The Rangers team is now 6-12-3 against the qualifying teams in the east this season, in addition to 5-6-2 against the qualifying teams in the West.
They have a record 4-15-3 against the 10 best teams in NHL.
