The Rangers are in action tonight against the Canucks in a game that will again have impact on the draft. This will be the fourth straight game like this for the Rangers, and they’ve collected four of six points in these games. They have a fighting spirit. This is good! They are ruining their draft position. This is bad! The draft contains Potassium Benzoate (this is bad).
The Rangers’ lines were not released, and this has been an ongoing habit for David Quinn and company. We do know that Tony DeAngelo was not at the morning skate. Alex Georgiev was, so it’s likely Hank gets the start. As for the lines, well your guess is as good as mine.
