5 Rangers storylines for November, including Thanksgiving ‘rule’

Jim Cerny outlines five critical storylines facing the New York Rangers throughout November following a four-game losing streak that dropped the team to 7-7-1. The Rangers face 13 games during the month while sitting outside a playoff spot, aiming to align with the historical trend where three-quarters of teams in playoff position by Thanksgiving ultimately reach the postseason.

Cerny emphasizes the team's pressing need to stabilize goaltending with Dylan Garand and the returning Joonas Korpisalo following Igor Shesterkin's season-ending knee injury. Other crucial storylines highlighted include sparking forward Pavel Dorofeyev's offensive production, establishing a consistent team identity away from home, and navigating two home matchups against the Carolina Hurricanes.
