New York Rangers midseason report cards: Top six forwards

The New York Rangers find themselves smack dab in the middle of their 2017-18 campaign. With that said, it is time to give out midseason report cards! Today, we evaluate the top-six forwards.

The New York Rangers have had a very up and down season. They started the season off 3-7-2 and looked to be completely out of the playoff picture. Now they sit in third place in the Metropolitan Division with a 22-14-5 record entering Sunday night’s game.

The team has been inconsistent and so have some of the members of their top six. Some of that inconsistency has been due to inconsistency. Some of it has even been due to poor–and sometimes horrific–coaching by Alain Vigneault.

But there have been a lot of bright spots too. The Rangers are a very young team with a pretty young top-six with loads of potential.

Let’s rank their performances through the first 41 games of the season.
