With Eleven Games Remaining the Rangers 2011 Playoff Hopes Still Alive

The New York Rangers’ Playoff hopes are still alive as they are locked in at 7th place in the Eastern Conference with 78 points. The Buffalo Sabres are only two points behind with one game in hand. The Rangers need to make the most of their remaining 11 games beginning this Friday as they welcome the Montreal Canadiens into Madison Square Garden. The Blueshirts have won four of their last five games and will hopefully continue their winning ways. Goaltender Chad Johnson is up with the club from their AHL affiliate Connecticut Whale but Henrik Lundqvist will most likely be the goalie down the stretch.
