What is the significance of the Rangers' final road trip?
Division heading to face the Wild in the first round. Earlier this week, the Rangers dropped a 5-3 decision to Buffalo, but have scored three or more goals in seven of their last eight games. with their power play clicking at 5-9 over the past three. After Dallas, they hit the Panthers in South Florida on Monday and wrap up against Tampa Bay on Wednesday. The Stars just pulled off a 5-4 comeback win over Minnesota on Thursday, marking their fifth straight playoff berth. Rangers fans are buzzing about the hot streaks carrying into Dallas Adam Fox on an eight-game point run with multi-points and six. Mika Zivanehad with... five straight, and Vincent Trocek owning eight points in his last eight against the Stars.
Fox even got a nod for the King Clancy Award for his leadership and community work. Coach Mike Sullivan's keeping him mysterious on netminders, bringing all three, Igor Shestekin, Jonathan Quick, and rookie Dylan Garan for the trip. No word on who starts. Dallas heads into this one banged up missing stud defenseman, Miro Heiskanen, with a lower body issue, forward Rue Pence done for the regular season, and maybe more, plus Tyler Seguin out long term. Other stars like Nils Lundqvist could sit too.
