Tonight, the Atlantic Division leading New York Rangers (15-9-2) take on the Carolina Hurricanes (14-10-3). The Rangers are 6-1-0 with a tie in its last eight meetings with Carolina at Madison Square Garden, including wins in both matchups there last season. Carolina has lost three of their last four games after absorbing an 8-1 rout at Buffalo on Saturday to open a five-game road trip. For a full preview go to Yahoo! Sports....the Rangers will be playing another struggling division leader tonight, so hopefully they come into this game with the same mentality as Saturday's game against Ottawa.
...tonight's game marks the first meeting between Marc and Eric Staal.
...Carolina is having some goaltending issues as they sport a 3.15 GAA to rank among the worst teams in the NHL. The Rangers need to get shots on the net early similar to how they did against Gerber.
...the Ranger offense has been clicking as they have scored 9 goals in the last two games, taking some pressure off the goaltending of Lundqvist. I'm really happy with Jagr and Drury's performances lately. Both of them are finally playing their type of game.
