Rangers facing massive decision with Islanders suddenly within striking distance
NY Post
The compulsories are over, the Rangers sweeping their final six against the Sabres and Devils within the last two weeks to finish 12-3-1 against the downtrodden divisional foes off of Tuesday’s 3-1 victory over a Buffalo team that put up more than a fair fight.
But it is on to the feature part of the program, a home-and-home commencing at the Garden on Thursday against the Islanders, who perhaps are now the team for the Blueshirts to target in this late, mad rush for the playoffs. For while the Bruins remain directly in front of the Rangers, four points up with two games in hand, the Islanders are just five points up on the Blueshirts while having just one game in hand. And the Islanders, 1-0 losers to Washington on Tuesday, are 0-2-1 in their last three, 2-4-1 in their past seven.
Just to get the formalities out of the way, Juan Soto officially declined the qualifying offer by Tuesday’s deadline.
