Report: Rangers lead NHL in merchandise sales

Despite a turbulent season, the New York Rangers remain the NHL leader in one major category.

It was revealed by Fanatics, the company that operates the league's e-commerce, that the Rangers top the league in merchandise sales, via ESPN's Greg Wyshynski.

Pittsburgh ranks second, while Chicago, Vegas, and Boston round out the top five.

It may be an odd time to purchase Rangers merchandise as the team hinted at some upcoming trades and adjustment of personnel in a statement Thursday. New York currently sits in last place in the Metropolitan Division.
