Notes & quotes: Among the teams the Rangers are chasing for one of the two Eastern Conference Wild Card berths are the Blue Jackets (22-17-6, 50 points). Entering the game, Columbus was in the first Wild Card slot, five points ahead of the Rangers, due in part to its 10-2-1 run dating back to the 4-2 win over the Devils on Dec. 19.
