The New York Rangers and Boston Bruins have been rivals for a long, long time and it isn’t often that a meeting between the two doesn’t hold some semblance of importance.
Wednesday night’s match up between the two is of great importance to both clubs as they jockey for position down the stretch heading into the playoffs in the spring.
The Bruins are skidding, having lost three in a row and posting a 5-3-2 record over their last 10 games. Despite their misfortunes, they find themselves just three points out in the race for the Atlantic Division crown.
