The Rangers are rolling now, and not even their greatest rivals are enough to stop them.
Locked in a battle for first place in the Metropolitan Division, and determined to raise their game to its absolute peak when the playoffs start in 10 days, the Rangers got three goals from Andrew Copp, four assists from Artemi Panarin, and three assists from Adam Fox and beat the Islanders, 6-3, Thursday night at UBS Arena.
The victory allowed the Rangers to keep pace with the Carolina Hurricanes, who beat Winnipeg, 4-2, and remain in a first-place tie in the division. Both teams have 108 points with four games remaining, including one against each other Tuesday at Madison Square Garden.
