The New York Rangers find themselves in a precarious situation this season as head coach Peter Laviolette's job security comes into question. After a dismal 4-19 stretch in November and December, many fans are left wondering if he will survive the season. Despite this rocky start, the Rangers have shown signs of improvement, particularly in the last few months. An in-season coaching change, however, may not yield the desired results and could disrupt the team's chemistry further.

There is also the matter of Laviolette's relationship with General Manager Chris Drury, which reportedly remains stable, unlike the conflict seen in previous coaching tenures. Interestingly, Laviolette's potential dismissal would mark the fourth coaching change for the Rangers in just five years, raising concerns about the accountability of the players.
