The 5-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins last night snapped a five-game winning streak for the Rangers, which held onto a three-point lead for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference and first place in the Metro Division with the Boston Bruins and Carolina Hurricanes having the night off.
The Rangers final divisional opponents are the Devils, Islanders twice, and the Flyers, all still desperately fighting for the final few playoff spots remaining.
