\n For more than half of the Rangers roster, the restart tournament will be their first NHL playoff experience. But for every single player in the league, the restart tournament will be unlike any experience anyone\u2019s ever had.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what makes this modified 24-team expanded playoffs so unique: It\u2019s an even playing field. A team like the Rangers, whose majority hasn\u2019t played in a single playoff game<\/a>, can confidently aim to \u201cwin the whole thing.\u201d It\u2019s anybody\u2019s Stanley Cup.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoing into this type of situation that no one has prepared for, I think [experience] will play less of a factor,\u201d veteran defenseman Marc Staal said on a Zoom call this week. \u201cEspecially early on, especially in these play-in rounds, it\u2019s going to be four, five games in five or six days. The team that\u2019s confident, playing well, playing hard and getting some bounces will win.\u201d<\/p>\n

The most experienced Ranger, goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, has app<\/a>eared in 128 playoff games \u2014 but it\u2019s yet to be seen if he\u2019ll get the chance to play in another. Staal (104) and Chris Kreider (77) round out the short list of Rangers who have played in more than 50 playoff games.<\/p>\n

Even team point leaders Mika Zibanejad and Artemi Panarin haven\u2019t had substantial playoff experience, with Zibanejad having just 28 postseason games under his belt while Panarin has 27.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret that the Rangers have had one of the youngest teams in the league this season. They\u2019re projected to have the second-youngest squad of the 24 teams heading into the restart tournament, according to Cap Friendly, behind only the Blue Jackets.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s the same Rangers team that went 12-7-1 in the last month and a half of play, including a 9-1 stretch in February. Though Staal said he could see playoff experience coming into play deeper into the tournament, he believes that no one truly knows what expect.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that we\u2019re not going to have any fans,\u201d Staal said with a laugh. \u201cThat we\u2019re playing against a team and it\u2019s not at their rink or ours. It\u2019s going to be strange for sure. Don\u2019t really know what to expect, but our preparation now is to just trying to get as sharp as we can until the puck drops and then you figure it out as you go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before the Rangers roster was expanded for training camp 2.0, there were 11 players who had never played in the postseason. Now that the roster has expanded to 34 players \u2014 which includes Micheal Haley, who is on injured reserve, and K\u2019Andre Miller, who can\u2019t participate in games \u2014 there are 20 players without playoff experience vying for spots.<\/p>\n

Defenseman Adam Fox, one of three true rookies on the team, believes that playing without fans and at a neutral site puts every team in the same boat. However, the 22-year-old Fox still sees an opportunity to learn from veterans with playoff experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously no one has played in a bubble with no fans during a play-in tournament into a playoffs, so it\u2019s definitely unique for everyone,\u201d he said on a Zoom call with reporters Wednesday. \u201cBut at the same time, especially guys on our team, we\u2019re a pretty young team, it still is the playoffs and there\u2019s still going to be a different type of intensity. I think guys with experience definitely could help guys like me during this.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a little more of an even playing field when there\u2019s no fans and you\u2019re in a bubble there.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
