The Blueshirts will wrap up their four game homestand with the defending champion Colorado Avalanche coming into Madison Square Garden tonight. The last time Colorado came to New York, Adam Huska made his first and only NHL start and ceded seven goals in an ugly 7-3 loss for the Rangers. Currently sitting at 1-1-1 on the homestand, the Rangers will be looking for a win to end it with a winning record.
Tonight’s game is also the first half of a back to back set, one of two the Blueshirts will play this week. One would expect Igor Shesterkin to start tonight’s contest with Jaroslav Halak getting the nod tomorrow.
