The Rangers have their first true test of the season tonight as the Carolina Hurricanes come to town. The Canes may have a 6-4 record, but they did that without two of their best skaters for half their games. Now fully healthy, the Canes are very dangerous and play a fast paced, tons of shots type of game. The Rangers nowadays like to slow things down a bit.
Where Carolina falters is in net, as their goaltending has been atrocious to start the season. Frederik Andersen, their starter, has a sub-.890 SV%, which is just bad no matter which way you slice it.
