With Calgary’s win over LA last night, the Rangers moved up to having the third best lottery at 11.5%.
The Rangers and Flames both finished with records of 34-39-9 but Calgary had two more regulation wins to win the tiebreaker.
The Rangers will pick either #1 if they win the first lottery drawing, #2 if they win the second lottery drawing, #3 if Vancouver and Chicago win both lottery drawings, #4 if a team below the Rangers wins a lottery drawing and #5 if two teams below the Rangers win the lottery drawings.
The Rangers ended the season 6-4 in their last 10 games and 12-10-3 since the Olympic break.
