The New York Rangers were among the most controversial teams through the first half of the season, as it seemed like there was drama surrounding them every week. The Rangers kept losing games, and the outrage grew higher and higher in New York.

Utah (19-23-3) has also hit the skids since a strong start to the season. Its win against the Rangers was the third straight for Utah to open 2024-25. Heading into the rematch, Utah has lost four of five (1-3-1) and is 2-7-2 in its past 11 games.
