In round two of our New York Rangers’ midseason report cards, we take a look at the goaltending and the coaching staff and how they’ve performed so far.
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.
A big reason–some would argue the only reason–for the team’s drastic turnaround has been their goaltending. The team now ranks eighth in the league in goals against per game (2.7). Goalie coach Benoit Allaire has worked his magic yet again, perhaps the only coach to do anything positive this year.
There is still plenty of season left, but how are the coaches and goalies doing so far?
