The PLAY: New York Rangers -135
The Rangers are playing their final game this season. The Lightning have much bigger games ahead. As the fourth team ever to win the President's Trophy one year and to miss the playoffs the next, it's obviously been a very disappointing season for New York. The Rangers are still fighting hard though. They've won two of their last three, scoring 22 goals over their final four games. New York's Juuso Parssinen commented: “We're still trying to win even though we're out of the playoffs. You always want to win. We have to be proud and play for our fans even though we're not making the playoffs.” Look for Parssinen and co. to close out their season with a “W.”
