The X-Factor
Every playoff team needs a “dark horse” to step up in the playoffs; that unsuspecting player who hasn’t produced consistently in the regular season but finds their stride in the playoffs.
Who were the King’s x-factors in 2014? Justin Williams and Marian Gaborik.
Who could be the Ranger’s x-factor? J.T. Miller.
Miller can be the guy who scores an important goal here and there when the usual suspect are not producing. His current hot streak will eventually subside, but if he can produce in the playoffs it would be invaluable.
