Mammoth at Rangers

The Rangers enter on Sunday, October 4, ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference. They have a 0-1-0 record and sit even with the playoff cutoff. New York has 83 games left, so the standings pressure is still limited this early in the season.

The Rangers have gone 1-4-0 in their last five games. Tye Kartye leads them with two goals in that span, while J.T. Miller has three assists. Mammoth have a 2-1-2 record over their last five. Lawson Crouse has scored three goals, and Mikhail Sergachev has five assists.

Mammoth have controlled the recent series. They are 2-0-0 in the last two meetings and have taken four points. The Rangers are 0-1-1 in those games, with one point. That includes an overtime loss for New York.

Mammoth have the edge because they have played better in the last five games and have won both recent meetings. Their attack has also received more from its top players in that span. The Rangers need a stronger result from their leading scorers to change the pattern.
