Rangers Have Second Best Eastern Conference Record Since Starting Season 3-7-0

Make that three wins in a row for the New York Rangers, and nine in their past 12 games, after a 4-1 win over their crosstown rivals from Long Island Friday night. When February flips on tomorrow, the Rangers will be alone in second place in the Metropolitan Division, which is a long-distance laugh away from where they were three months ago after their first home game of the season.
When the Rangers hosted the Montreal Canadiens Oct. 28, they were the last team in the NHL to play a game at home. In fact, every other club had played at least three in its own barn by that day. Yet with their fans starving for some home cooking, the Rangers looked every bit homesick after nearly a month on the road and lost 2-0.

That left them 3-7-0 in the first 10 games of the season, just one point ahead of the Buffalo Sabres for last in the league, and looking completely out of sorts under new coach Alain Vigneault. Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the continent, their former coach John Tortorella had his new team out to a 9-4-1 start and sitting near the top of the NHL.

Since then, however, the Rangers have gone 27-16-3 – the second-best mark in the Eastern Conference behind only the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Hell yes, just need to improve a bit more at home and we'll be fine. Team is getting dangerous.
