It’s too early in the season to call a game a must win, but the Rangers could really use a dominant showing against the woeful Carolina Hurricanes tonight. The Canes are without brothers Staal, Jeff Skinner, and Andrej Sekera. Considering the team really wasn’t that good to begin with, missing four of their top players means these are two points the Rangers should grab.
I haven’t watched a Canes game since Bill Peters was hired as their head coach, so I don’t know much about what they do on the ice. However, they are missing four top guys, so it may even be tough to get a gauge on them tonight too. On the bright side, since Eric and Jordan are out, we may not be subjected to countless Staal’s are brothers references.
Rangers lineup:
Anthony Duclair–Martin St. Louis–Rick Nash
Chris Kreider–Derick Brassard–Lee Stempniak
Carl Hagelin–Kevin Hayes-Mats Zuccarello
Ryan Malone-Dominic Moore–Tanner Glass
Ryan McDonagh–Dan Girardi
Marc Staal-Matt Hunwick
John Moore–Kevin Klein
Henrik Lundqvist gets the start
Scratches/Injuries: Derek Stepan (leg), Dan Boyle (hand), Jesper Fast (healthy), J.T. Miller (healthy), Mike Kostka (healthy)
