The big question remains who will be the New York Rangers first-round opponent? A few Rangers are chasing personal milestones. Can Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejad reach 90 points? They are both 1 point shy. Mika also needs a goal to hit 40. Alexis Lafreniere and Kaapo Kakko both need just 1 point to hit 40 points. Igor Shesterkin earned win number 37 on the season last weekend to set a new career high. This week we are joined again by our good friend Riley Armstrong! The Lehigh Valley Phantoms assistant coach talks about the Rangers prospects playing in Hartford after matching up with them 4 times this season.

What a weekend and what a week for the New York Rangers! They have now scored 15 unanswered goals following two beatdowns this past weekend. A few weeks ago on the show I declared March 9th as the official reset day of the Rangers season, following the craziness of the trade deadline. Since then, they are 6-0-1, Panarin has 11 points, Mika has 10 points, Kane has 7 points and Igor has found his game. The reigning Vezina Trophy winner is 5-0 with a .942 save percentage! Talking about Rangers goalies, we are joined this week by Rangers prospect Olof Lindbom! The Rangers selected Lindbom in the second round of the 2018 NHL Draft, the first goalie selected. After signing his entry-level contract last May this is his first season playing in North America. We talk all about those adjustments, his time in Sweden, and how cool it was to get drafted by his favorite team growing up, thanks to the fandom of his idol Henrik Lundqvist.

It was a weird week for the New York Rangers. They were able to secure 5 of a possible 6 points on a 3-game road trip, but all 3 games went to OT and they never really took control of any of the three. Igor has turned his game around in March, and the Rangers need him to keep it going if they want to make a run. Patrick Kane is settling in, he had 3 points on the road trip. This week we are joined by former New York Rangers defenseman and 12-year NHL vet Cory Cross! Cory shares some great stories from his career, including his unique journey to the NHL. Great listen for any hockey fan!

What a crazy week for not only the New York Rangers but for the NHL in general. Patrick Kane is forcing himself to the New York Rangers, NBA style, and Chris Drury is pulling off salary cap gymnastics to get his contract under the cap. The Rangers shipped out Vitali Kravtsov, waived Jake Leschyshyn, and played short two players all to get Kane's number under the cap. Crazy stuff. Also, every team in the East is loading up and the playoffs are going to be an absolute gauntlet. We welcome the founder of PuckPedia.com Hart Levine to the show to help make sense of all these salary cap moves. When can the Rangers officially acquire Patrick Kane? What does that mean for the cap for the rest of the year if they have injuries? Can they call anyone up? He answers it all!
