Interesting Numbers for the Upcoming Season

John Kreiser at The Hockey News looks at some of the more interesting numbers for the upcoming season. Two of which include the Rangers...

3 — Longest homestand for the New York Rangers, who have four of them. The Rangers are the only team that doesn't have at least one four-game stretch of home games.

40 — Actual home games for the Ottawa Senators, Pittsburgh Penguins, New York Rangers and Tampa Bay Lightning, each of which will play their 41st "home" game during a season-opening two-game trip to Europe. Pittsburgh and Ottawa will face off twice in Stockholm, Sweden, while the Rangers and Lightning will play a pair of games in Prague.

...neither of these numbers seem to benefit the Rangers. Bettman strikes again.
