Kreider had just helped Boston College to the National Championship and now he was thrust into the NHL's Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. It was the Rangers vs. Senators and Ottawa had now pushed the Blueshirts to a game seven. The series had featured outstanding defense and the deciding game was no different.

Peter Laviolette has deployed the same skaters in the past eight games, but the Rangers head coach put the lines in a blender on the way to a 4-0 loss to the Hurricanes on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.

Here are ten points about the Rangers and everything you need to know about the team.

A player on the market that has some term left and brings a reliable defensive game is Philadelphia Flyer Rasmus Ristolainen. Ristolainen is a big, imposing defenseman who thrives in physical play. He's not afraid to throw hits, clear the crease or engage in battles along the boards.

Chytil has been centering a line, with wingers Chris Kreider and Arthur Kaliyev, that has looked promising the last few games.
