SI.com drops the Rangers three spots to #16 in their recent power rankings...
16. Rangers - They'd dropped five of six on the road before heading to Ottawa and were playing without Chris Drury and Brandon Dubinsky, so even a shootout win had to feel like a series clincher. They are just 4-7-1 since that blazing 7-1 start, and their flaws were apparent even in victory. For a team that's supposed to be playing a puck possession game, they don't actually possess the puck often enough. Last week: 1-1.
While Fox Sports drops the Blueshirts from #14 to #18...
18. Rangers - A minor-league call-up came to the Rangers rescue in Week 7. P.A. Parenteau's shootout goal against Ottawa in the seventh round of the extra session gave New York its only victory of the week. The Rangers� ninth-ranked power play only connected once in eight tries last week.
Finally, CBS Sports actually keeps the Rangers at #17 this week...
17. Rangers - Defenseman Marc Staal leads the Rangers in ice-time with 22:29 per game, but he's minus-6 in the past 11 games and pointless on the power play this season.
