20.) Rick Nash
Rick Nash’s 2014 postseason caused a lot of frustration for Rangers fans, as he scored just three goals in the postseason. Even though Nash struggled in the postseason he has responded this season with a great start.
So far this season, Nash is leading the Rangers in points with 36, and goals with 23. Nash’s 23 goals have him ranked second in the entire NHL, two behind the Dallas Stars’ Tyler Seguin. Nash certainly expects these kind of stats to continue in 2015, as he looks to put the poor postseason behind him.
