As Sam said at the top of the broadcast, it’s the renewal of the Hudson River Rivalry and sure enough, it would be far from a friendly meeting between the two teams. The Rangers came into this one coming off a strong team win against Dallas on Tuesday but had a couple of question marks prior to puck drop. Both Artemiy Panarin and Jimmy Vesey were game time decisions as recent call-up Brennan Othmann joined Alex Belzile in warm-ups out of precaution. Sure enough, both Rangers regulars were good to go which made for the same line-up we saw Tuesday.
