All eyes will be on the New York Rangers tonight. They hope to build on an impressive road win in Dallas and gain some ground in the Eastern Conference wild card race. A win tonight and the Rangers will be one point out of a playoff spot. The bad news is both the Hurricanes and Islanders will have two games in hand. The good news is the Rangers own the regulation wins tiebreaker.
The Rangers won last night due a total team effort. They played at a fast pace, backchecked conscientiously and matched the Stars in physical play.
