The New York Rangers are set to kick off a trip to the west coast of the United States tonight. The Blueshirts will do their yearly California swing on this road trip as well, but the trip begins in Seattle against the newest NHL franchise, the Seattle Kraken. Last year’s trip to Seattle was tacked onto the annual western Canada trip, but the league has opted to let that trip be a standalone trio of games for the Blueshirts this time around.
Entering tonight at 8-6-3, Gerard Gallant’s squad has gotten middling results in spite of their strong play thus far.
