The Rangers have conquered this nine-day gauntlet by winning five out of six.
This unforgiving schedule left them bruised and battered, with the latest injury to defenseman Ryan Lindgren raising legitimate concerns about his status with the playoffs just over a month away.
K'Andre Miller has been red-hot with five points in his last two games. He might need to play more for the team if Lindgren will need to miss significant time, and Jacob Trouba still out due to injury.
