The New York Rangers have been road heroes in the month of February with a 6-0 record. They have fared less well at home, winning two of five games. They need to win at home if they are to have any hopes for the postseason and the perfect time to start would be tonight against the fading San Jose Sharks.
The last time the two teams met at Madison Square Garden was in October 2018 and both teams were very different. 11 players are missing from that night’s San Jose lineup including Joe Pavelski, Jonas Donaskoi, Logan Couture, Tomas Hertl, Erik Karlsson and Brenden Dillon.
