Month: February

Games: 13

Record: 6-6-1

Highlights: This month rivals December in terms of difficulty. In all honesty it might even be tougher. But, the Rangers will be up to the task. Wins against Tampa Bay, Washington and Pittsburgh will make this month seem like a major victory for the Rangers.

The only lull in this month will be two games against Carolina, but even those aren’t as easy as they used to be.

Player of the Month: It’s the great Buchnevich again. Just because he hasn’t been mentioned in these predictions since the first month doesn’t mean he’s having a bad season. But, in the shortest month of the year, expect big things. Buchnevich will once again finish at a point per game, in fact he will finish at over a point per game in this month. 14 points, 13 games and the month of Buchnevich will be complete.

Bold Prediction: A hat trick and five point night for Buchnevich against the Buffalo Sabres will be a lot of fun to watch on February 15. Mark your calendars, it’s a guarantee.
