No.6: New York Rangers

Previous: No. 7

Record: 45-24-3 (93 points)

The loss of star netminder Henrik Lundqvist definitely hurts the Rangers, who have battled in the toughest division in all of the NHL. New York still remains in the upper echelon of offense around the league, ranking fifth in goals per game (3.17) and second in shooting percentage (10.6). The Rangers are pretty much a lock for the top wild card spot.
