The New York Rangers are home for two of their three games this week. Considering their NHL-best 6-1-1 road record, which includes three straight wins last week out West, maybe they should wear their white sweaters when they step onto the ice at Madison Square Garden against the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night.
They can’t do any worse at the Garden in white unis than wearing their blue ones.
New York brings an 0-4-1 home record into the game against their Metropolitan Division rival. It’s their worst five-game start at the Garden (old or new) since 1943-44 – and something that must change if the Rangers are going to return to the Stanley Cup Playoffs, after coming up short last season.
