After a relatively underwhelming performance in Game Two, the Rangers regained control of the series and home ice advantage with a very strong showing in Game Three, grabbing a 2-1 series lead. While tonight’s game isn’t a must-win game for the Rangers, it’s a for-the-love-of-all-that-is-holy-please-take-a-two-game-lead game for them. Seriously, I know you guys are pretty sick of them never taking a two game lead. Tonight though, they will need to do it against a returning Steve Mason.

For a complete preview of this series, including the systems Craig Berube has the Flyers playing, check out this post by Suit. Don’t forget that Justin wrote a post on Steve Mason’s goaltending style.
