The New York Rangers had a standout season, bouncing back strongly from their playoff ousting the previous year. They topped the NHL's regular-season standings, thanks to Artemi Panarin's noteworthy scoring and assisting, Igor Shesterkin's impressive goalkeeping with a shutout, and the solid performances of the team members.
Players like Jack Roslovic, Adam Fox, Alexis Lafreniere, and Chris Kreider found the back of the net, contributing to the Rangers achieving new franchise records of 55 wins and 114 points. This feat ensured they secured home ice advantage throughout the playoff rounds.
The team, while proud of their regular-season accomplishments, understands the paramount importance of postseason victories. They are determined to make a deeper playoff run, improving on their early exit last time, and have strategically placed themselves to avoid playing against the second wild card teams.
Important goals from Roslovic and Fox, including a memorable short-handed goal from Fox, heightened his reputation as the most offensively productive Ranger defenseman since the days of Brian Leetch. Panarin was close to notching his 50th goal and ended up with 120 points, making him the player with the second-highest points tally in the history of the Rangers.
Lafreniere's goal contribution and Kreider's robust season, amassing 75 points, were pivotal. Shesterkin concluded the season with 36 victories and four shutouts in goal. The Rangers matched a team record with 30 victories at home.
On the contrary, the Senators faced disappointment, missing the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season. They are set to finish their season in Boston as the Rangers gear up for postseason action on their home turf.
