The Central Division leading St. Louis Blues invade Madison Square Garden riding a seven game winning streak. The New York Rangers have lost two in a row for the first time in two months and it will be a rested Alexandar Georgiev in goal for the Blueshirts. He will be opposed by Jordan Binnington, the Blues’ top netminders.
One of the top blueliners for the Blues, Colton Parayko is ill and will be a gametime decision. If he cannot play, he will be missed as his has gelled with newcomer Marco Scandella on the Blues second defense pairing.
