It’s a different game. The New York Rangers are tearing it down, but they still have stalwart goalie Henrik Lundqvist. If he’s in net, it would be his 54th start in 67 games. If they go with the youngster, it’ll be Alexandar Georgiev (these names get easier to spell each day). The 22 year old has started three games in his NHL career, but boasts a nice .930 save percentage.
The big news for the Winnipeg Jets, as if facing a last-place non-conference opponent wasn’t fun enough, is the likely return of Steve Mason. He hasn’t played since January 9, and when he was playing, he wasn’t great.
