New York Rangers At The Quarter Pole

So what’s going on with the New York Rangers in this inaugural PFHL season? After a rocky dispersal draft there were many questions about this roster in the big apple. How has this team come together after 20 games?

Brayden Point 13G-20A-33PTS

Mark Giordano 8G-17A-25PTS

Brendan Gallagher 9G-15A-24PTS



The Rangers have certainly benefitted from the top forward and defenseman playing up to expectations. The unexpected surprise has been the scoring depth that has emerged over the entire lineup. As it stands at the 20 game mark there are 10 players on a 20 goal or better pace. That includes 3 defensemen.



The Future



Will the Rangers be able to keep the top spot in the Met and continue fighting for the leagues best record? It’s really too early to tell despite some positive team metrics. The rest of the leagues top teams have already been active in the trade market bolstering already formidable rosters. Will New York’s scoring depth be a match for some of the more top line heavy teams out there? It’ll be interesting to see if this motley crew can continue to sit among the best teams in the PFHL.
