With the NFL season in the rear view mirror and the Yankees and Mets yet to report to spring training, the New York sports spotlight is set to shine on Madison Square Garden and the hottest team in town. In addition to that team, the Rangers will also resume their 2023-24 campaign tonight in the latest renewal of an old Patrick Division rivalry.
The Calgary Flames are in town for their annual trip into Manhattan, and the Rangers will look to knock off this Flames team that has already began selling off pieces. First it was Nikita Zadorov making his way from Calgary to Vancouver via a late November trade in exchange for draft picks, and Elias Lindholm followed suit during the All-Star break.
