The Rangers dominated Game 3, and now have a chance to tie the series and swing momentum back to them before heading to Ottawa. This is another huge game for the Rangers, as falling being 3-1 would be as close to disastrous as it gets. Luckily they appeared to have figured it out on Tuesday, so it’s a matter of continuing to play that way.

Guy Boucher is making a few changes to his lineup tonight. Chris Wideman is in for Brandon Claesson. Tom Pyatt is also expected to play, but it’s unknown for who. Zack Smith is a game time decision, so that’s the logical choice. But if Smith does play, it’s anyone’s guess who comes out for Pyatt.
