After a strong win against Carolina, the Rangers have their typical trap game in Montreal. The Habs are terrible, and with this game sandwiched between two key divisional games, it’s got trap game written all over it. This is one the Rangers should win easily, but this is also one where taking the night off will lead to problems with Montreal’s top line.
Jaro Halak is in net after a strong win against Florida to kick off the new year. He seems to be rounding into form, something we’ve been waiting for all season. Better late than never, and Montreal’s top line is really the only threat tonight.
