The Blueshirts are a confident team, driven as they have been since reporting to camp in September by the need to right last June’s wrong.

They led the NHL in goal-differential and in five-on-five ratio.

And so while there may not be a marquee superpower as a consensus Stanley Cup favorite, there are the Rangers.
