No. 6: New York Rangers

Previous: No. 7

Record: 31-16-1 (63 points)

Continues to be a tough time to be the Rangers, who have won three straight and have a plus-40 goal differential but can’t make up any ground in the Metropolitan, thus holding a wild-card spot. Imagine if this team can get Henrik Lundqvist going at his usual other-worldy rate (or boost the defense at the trade deadline). That would make for some really fun matchups in the playoffs.
