In the first of back-to-back conference finals Game 7s, the Rangers will meet Tampa Bay in New York on Friday for the East title and a berth in the Stanley Cup Finals.
On Saturday, the Ducks host Chicago for the West title.
The Rangers can be comforted by the knowledge that goalie Henrik Lundqvist has won his past six Game 7s, posting an 0.81 goals-against average in those games.
“I don’t know if I’m comfortable,” Lundqvist said Thursday. “I just try to go out and do my job.”
The Lightning’s Ben Bishop has struggled recently, but won 2-0 in New York on Sunday.
