NEW YORK - Halfway through the 2022-23 season, the Rangers had already received seven loser points - also known as the one-point consolation prize for teams that fall short in overtime or shootouts.

The Rangers enter the season facing the kind of great expectations that haven't loomed over the franchise in years.
