Fresh off their five game sweep in western Canada (and Seattle), the Blueshirts are back at MSG tonight to take on the Carolina Hurricanes, representing the Rangers first true test of the season.. The Canes have been the cream of the crop in the Metro Division for some time now, winning the division each of the last two seasons. They are a solid team built on a system that is well coached.
As it stands today, the Canes are second in the Metro Division, behind the Rangers, with 12 points (6-4-0) in 10 games.
