Youngsters Carrying Offense

The Rangers are currently sitting at 7-9-1 and in 9^th place in the Wales Conference. The 1996 Rangers do not look like a playoff team. They could sneak it but it would be a surprise in a loaded Wales Conference. Two bright spots so far are two young forwards, Vyacheslav Kozlov and Jere Lehtinen. Kolzov has 3 goals and 13 assists to lead the Rangers in points with 16. Lehtinen is right behind him with 15 points on 12 goals and 3 assists. Both of these players are on pace for career seasons. We will check back in in five to ten games to see if that pace is continuing and to break down the numbers. Fans have to be excited to see two young players like this getting off to such a hot start this season.
