After Tuesday’s debacle, the Rangers are back home with another chance to close out the Eastern Conference Finals and play either the Kings or the Hawks. A desperate Canadiens team, without Dale Weise but with Brandon Prust, stands in their way. Raphael Diaz is in the lineup tonight, subbing for the suspended John Moore.
Suit wrote a preview of the series, and you should definitely be reading that. Justin also scouted out Carey Price, who is skating but still not playing. This series can’t go to Montreal for a Game Seven. It simply can’t.
