At this point in the season, the Rangers have a record of 36-17-9 and are in 1st place in the Atlantic. However, as it stands, they'd just be the 3rd seed in the conference.

The remaining 2005-06 New York Rangers Hockey Schedule includes games against the Canadiens tomorrow, Atlanta on Sunday, then Carolina, Washington and Toronto to close out next week. After that, their opponents for the rest of March include the Bruins, Flyers, Panthers, Lightning, Sabres, Islanders and Senators. In April, the Rangers are scheduled to play 2 games against Philly, 2 against the Isles, and Boston, Jersey and Ottawa once each.

Judging from the strength of schedule, will the Rangers be able to make up the 10 points seperating them from top-seed Carolina, or at least the 6 point lead Ottawa currently holds on them? What record and/or seed do you all predict New York will finish with?

Boy how times change, no more thinking about chasing Ottawa and Carolina.

Now that the Rangers are tied with Philly, those games in a few weeks are likely going to make or break the division champ hopes.
