What’s the best way to not be concerned about the defense? Concentrate on the offense, of course!

The New York Rangers are an offensive team, and there is no doubt about that. Their skill up front will definitely be able to take away from any insecurities on the back end.

The Rangers maintained a top five position in scoring throughout nearly the entire regular season.

However, the most important thing to remember is that so long as the offense can maintain their high-scoring, the defense won’t have to work as hard.
