The Carolina Hurricanes head to the Big Apple tonight for a divisional showdown against the New York Rangers. After a slow start, the Rangers are 7-3-0 in their last 10 games and currently sit three points ahead of the Canes in the standings.
Both teams are coming off losses, with the Canes dropping in the shootout to the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Rangers faltering against the Panthers in regulation. With both teams on the outside looking in, two points are valuable in tonight’s game. The Rangers will then turn their attention to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday.
