The Rangers aren’t getting ahead of themselves when it comes to the playoffs.
TAMPA, Fla. — The Rangers aren’t getting ahead of themselves.
“We got to get in the playoffs first,” Rangers coach Gerard Gallant said following their morning skate at Amalie Arena on Saturday, ahead of the matchup against Tampa Bay. “There’s still 21 games left and we got to play good hockey and we got to make sure we get in. That’s what a coach is looking forward to, playing good games like we played the last two, getting as many points as we can get and get into a playoff spot.
Gerard Gallant wants his team focusing on making the playoffs before worrying about matchups down the line.All but one of the Rangers’ remaining games will be against Eastern Conference opponents. Points will be crucial until the end of the regular season on April 29, and that’s not lost on the Rangers. Utility forward Barclay Goodrow said he expects every matchup to be intense.
The Lightning have reached the playoffs in seven of the last eight seasons, while the Hurricanes have transformed into serious contenders the past three seasons after going nine straight without a playoff berth. The back-to-back should serve as a tune-up for the Rangers, who are incredibly close to their first playoff series since 2017. It should also reveal a lot about where the club is at compared to two established Stanley Cup contenders.
