If the New York Rangers want to make the playoffs, they need to go on a run, something they haven’t done so far this season. The most games in a row that they have won is three and they have done that only once. They need a winning streak and there is no better time to do it than now.
They are going to have to do it without Igor Shesterkin who will miss his start tonight due to the ankle injury he suffered on Tuesday in Winnipeg. Alexandar Georgiev will be in net and Coach David Quinn described Shesterkin’s situation as “day to day” meaning he could get the start tomorrow in Columbus.
