The New York Rangers hope to halt the Vancouver Canucks’ six game winning streak, the longest active streak in the NHL. It will be a tall order as the Canucks are firing on all cylinders and have a lethal power play.

The Panarin and Zibanejad lines need to get back on track after being shutout in the last game against Calgary.
