-63
CLS Score
2nd unluckiest of 32 in the NHL

Rangers have been robbed by hockey's coin flips. 77 points from 87.8 expected — the kind of gap that shows up when shootouts, OT losses, and one-goal games have all gone the wrong way. The underlying performance says they're better than the standings show. Top driver: Pythagorean Delta (-74.5 CLS impact). 11 fewer points than their goal differential predicts

Why?

Rangers are deeply cursed at -63. This level of underperformance almost never persists. The data they're generating - the chances created, the shots taken, the defensive work - all point to a team better than their record. Regression to the mean is one of the most reliable forces in sports.
