Jack Roslovic thriving with Rangers after long playoff drought
NY Post
It’s been a while since Jack Roslovic has been in this position.
Six years, to be exact, since he played in the second round of the playoffs as a rookie for the Winnipeg Jets — young enough to believe it could be a yearly occurrence.
That Winnipeg side that reached the Western Conference Finals, in retrospect, had a lot of Rangers in its DNA.
Jacob Trouba was there.
So were Blake Wheeler and Roslovic and Andrew Copp, a pivotal part of New York’s run to the Eastern Finals two seasons ago.
Roslovic made it back to the playoffs for the next two seasons with the Jets, but Winnipeg’s only time making it past the first round came after it dealt him to Columbus in a 2021 deal for Pierre-Luc Dubois.
RALEIGH, N.C. — Igor Shesterkin and the Rangers have experienced it from all sides the past three springs. They have overcome a 3-1 series deficit by winning an overtime Game 7 at home. They have overcome a 3-2 deficit to win a Game 7 on the road. They have lost a 2-0 series lead in dropping four straight. They have lost another 2-0 lead before losing in seven. And they have swept.
