Fresh off a redeeming night against the Devils, the Rangers face off against the cream of the crop tonight. The Lightning are the clear favorites in the East, and they hold a significant points lead on basically everyone. This is a well oiled machine, and with the rest of the league relatively wide open, could be the Cup favorites.
The Rangers as we see them have their days numbered. I expect Mats Zuccarello will be the first one to go, since trading him doesn’t necessarily depend on other factors in Ottawa. Enjoy watching him, especially in this revival, while you can. I know I will.
