Coming off of an unsuccessful home stand that saw the team go 1-2-1, the Rangers are set to hit the road for a two game swing through the pre-2013 re-alignment Central Division. The trip will start tonight in Detroit, who now finds themselves in the Eastern Conference’s Atlantic Division and will be squaring off with New York for the second time in five days.
The Red Wings came into Madison Square Garden and defeated the Rangers by a score of 4-3 on Sunday. Now that the scene has shifted to Little Caesars Arena in the heart of Hockeytown, Gerard Gallant’s squad will need to dig deep in order to prevent their losing streak from extending to four consecutive games.
