"The Rangers can max out at 83 points, which means St. Louis needs just 9 of 16 available points, and Seattle just 8 of 16 available points."
"A 2-4 record seems to be the most likely scenario, but 3-3 or 4-2 if Tampa rests players to close out the season is also doable."
"Realistically, the Rangers odds for the #1 overall pick stay where they are or improve slightly."
"Their schedule isn't great and they'd have too much ground to make up on the two catchable teams ahead of them."
The New York Rangers currently sit 29th in the NHL standings with 71 points, just ahead of the Calgary Flames. With six games remaining, their chances of moving up in the standings are slim, as they can only max out at 83 points. The Rangers face a challenging schedule, with four games against playoff teams. Their odds for the #1 overall pick in the draft lottery are likely to remain stable or improve slightly, depending on the performance of Calgary.
