The Rangers are starting to pick up points consistently again, building up their confidence and moving slowly up the standings.

In their last game at the time of this writing, the New York Rangers had a 3-0 lead over the Dallas Stars within the first ten minutes of the first period.

Since returning from a stint on IR, Igor Shesterkin hs played exceptionally well for the New York Rangers in five starts, raising their playoff hopes after a long dismal stretch of poor play.

A critical moment came late in the third period when defenseman K’Andre Miller’s turnover led directly to Thomas Harley’s game-tying goal, making it 4-4 and eventually sending the game to overtime.

The Stars have won five straight and are coming off a comeback, overtime victory against the New York Rangers.

Harley seems to have found his groove offensively. He had a three point night against New York, including one goal and two assists. This comes right on the heels of his overtime winning goal in the previous game against Utah. He now has six points in his last four games.
