After getting blown out of Washington by the Capitals 24 hours ago, the Blueshirts are back in action with a quick turnaround tonight. It’ll be a rematch of the 2014 Stanley Cup Finals as the Rangers welcome the Los Angeles Kings into Madison Square Garden with both teams coming off of road losses last night. The Kings held a 2-0 lead over the New York Islanders at the second intermission, but ceded a pair of third period goals and eventually lost in overtime, snapping their league record 11 game road winning streak to begin a season.
The Rangers, on the other hand, are in desperate need of a win tonight to avoid alarm bells going off concerning the team.
