After knocking off the New Jersey Devils 24 hours ago, the Rangers are back in action for another Metropolitan Division matchup. While last night’s stakes were more bragging rights than anything else, divisional supremacy is up for grabs at PNC Arena in Raleigh tonight.
The Rangers and Hurricanes are meeting for the final time this season. Both New York and Carolina are set to play their 65th game of the season respectively, and the Rangers currently lead the Hurricanes by four points in the divisional standings. Carolina has won the Metro in each of the two previous seasons, and the Rangers are looking to end Carolina’s reign by holding off the Hurricanes down the stretch of the 2023-24 campaign.
