The Rangers pieced together a pretty good win against Florida the other day, and are aiming to keep that goal scoring balance going in Chicago. The Hawks are pretty good, at least so far through the first 10 games of the season.
The Blueshirts have had flashes of brilliance, flashes of utter ineptitude, and have mostly been in the middle somewhere. They have been competitive in most of the games so far, which is a positive. The Blueshirts will be up against Corey Crawford tonight though, so that five goal outburst the other day will be tough to match.
