The Rangers really just need to survive at this point. They have tonight and tomorrow in Ottawa before a much needed 8 day break. This team is really fighting it and are in a slump. They need to just survive tonight and tomorrow. Preferably with 4 points, of course.
There are some new defense pairs tonight, and Gustafsson-Fox might be a sleeper pair with stellar results. I’m sure most fans are going into the game with another “oh no, not again” type mentality. Can’t blame you, it’s been a rough stretch since the holiday break.
