With the New York Rangers sitting at 9-7-2 halfway through November, it is fair to question if they will make the playoffs. So, will they? And if they do, who will the key contributors be.

The New York Rangers have made the postseason seven consecutive seasons. But as of right now, the question hangs in the air on whether the Rangers will make the playoffs this season. They had been off to a rough start, but are getting better. Their current record is 9-7-2 in through 18 games.

In retrospect, there have been a few players that have not been performing well enough. These players could mean the difference between making the playoffs or not. Some players have not been playing how they’re expected too, while some are playing harder than ever.

The Rangers are also having trouble, not with players, but with filling certain positions. It has been common knowledge since the season started that the team has been having troubles finding another solid center.

Can the missing pieces make or break the Rangers playoff chances?
