Unfortunately the Rangers sit in the middle of the pack thanks to their prowess in the post-overtime gimmick. Those that reach 100 points in the standings format above are true contenders. With all the extra overtime points these days anyone can reach 100, even #5 and 6 seeds in the conference, which was not the case even prior to the lockout when the NHL started awarding the overtime point.
