Six grueling months of battle has come to this. Just six days of regular season play remain in the 2015-16 NHL season, and every point counts in the push for the playoffs. After clinching a postseason berth last night with a win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, the New York Rangers will return home for two pivotal games against the New York Islanders and Detroit Red Wings later this week, which serve as the two most expensive games of the week.
