"The Rangers have lost three in a row, pretty much erasing most of the good will they earned in their four game win streak the other week."
"It's probably a coincidence, but the Rangers started getting dominated on the ice once JT Miller returned and his usage took priority over the new Mika Zibanejad line."
"From a draft position perspective, this is probably a good thing. But the Rangers also want to build a winning environment and teams don't openly tank."
"It will be interesting how the remaining 13 games play out as the Rangers do 'need to lose' to some teams they are facing in the coming days."
The Rangers have lost three consecutive games, diminishing the positive momentum from a previous four-game winning streak. The return of JT Miller has coincided with this decline, as his usage has overshadowed the new Mika Zibanejad line. With injuries affecting the team, including the absence of Noah Laba, the Rangers' lines have been altered. While losing may benefit their draft position, the team aims to foster a winning culture. The next 13 games will be crucial as they face teams they need to lose against.
