"The Rangers didn't lose in regulation during their gauntlet week, beating Dallas in OT, Ottawa on the road, and then losing in OT to both Colorado and Vegas. In this week's Patreon post (subscribe here!), Dave joked that the Rangers pulled us all back in following the strong win over Dallas. There's a lot to be hopeful for right now."
"For some reason the Rangers were linked to Erik Gustafsson and Bryan Rust, which makes little sense. The Gustafsson rumor was because life without Adam Fox could get ugly, but Fox isn't out super long term. The Rust rumor was to help with top six scoring to get out of the middle of the pack, but there are better options. These rumors are coming as the Olympics roster freeze nears. Chris Drury needs to thread the needle on the retool. Can he do it?"
Rangers hold a 15-12-4 record and finished a gauntlet week without a regulation loss, earning an OT win over Dallas, a road win at Ottawa, and two OT losses to Colorado and Vegas. Adam Fox is sidelined short-term, and Adam Edstrom missed most of last week but is not on injured reserve. The team adjusted breakouts in Fox's absence and has seen early dividends. Trade chatter linked Erik Gustafsson and Bryan Rust amid an approaching Olympics roster freeze, creating pressure on management's retool decisions. Scott Morrow remains off the power play, while Will Borgen's strong play has steadied the defense.
