Episode Notes
We kick off by recapping the Rangers' standout performance in the Winter Classic, where the biggest names delivered in a memorable outdoor win. But the high didn't last—discuss the quick fall back to earth in the disappointing overtime loss to Utah, with key players unable to sustain momentum. Plus, the big injury concerns: Igor Shesterkin's lower-body issue (and the Rangers being cagey on his timeline), Adam Fox's situation, and why it looks like the team dodged the absolute worst-case scenario for Shesterkin so far.
