Fifteen: New York Rangers (2nd Metropolitan)

The Rangers are struggling. Offense has been a small problem, but when the defense struggles the offense is a HUGE problem. Injuries are certainly hurting the team. This fifteen is a great chance to get some momentum back. The top players are fine - Mats Zuccarello RW is still bringing it every night. Support scoring is not coming. Also, the middle in the Rangers' end is being left open a lot more. It's been a tough stretch of late!

Record: 19 - 11 - 4 42pts ( projected: 21 - 13 - 5 47pts )

Significant Injuries:
Kevin Klein D
Dan Girardi D
Derek Stepan C

These are big minute injuries. Hopefully, it is a huge factor in the losses lately.

Next Fifteen Days 12/20/2015 - 1/3/2016:
Sunday Washington visits
Tuesday Anaheim visits
Monday at Nashville

Saturday at Florida

Time to right the sinking vessel! Other than Washington, this is another weaker fifteens days on the schedule.
