The New York Rangers hope history repeats itself when they visit the Boston Bruins on Saturday afternoon in a nationally televised game.
One of the brightest spots in the Rangers’ up-and-down season came in their last visit to Boston just over six weeks ago. They put on one of their best performances of the season on Black Friday before a national TV audience, thumping the Bruins 6-2 behind a four-point afternoon by Artemi Panarin and a solid defensive effort that limited the B’s to just 21 shots on goal against Igor Shesterkin.
That team had an elite goalie and a premier defenseman in Adam Fox.
