rangers dallas stars

The Rangers are back in action tonight against the Dallas Stars, as they will look to continue their roll. Believe it or not, and I had to double check to be sure, the Rangers are 7-2-1 in their last ten games. Yes, that’s correct. The Rangers have ridden a strong end of October and November into a tie with the Islanders for second place in the division.

I know I keep saying this, but I don’t expect the Rangers to continue winning games like this. That said, I didn’t expect them to win this many games this early in the season. So what do I know?

Dallas is without John Klingberg, but they are still a pretty decent team. Their top talent is very good, so this could be another track meet. It seems most games lately are track meets. They are fun, but my heart rate can’t really handle it.
