After barely holding on to a 3-2 win against Carolina on Wednesday, the Rangers travel to Boston for another Black Friday matinee against the Bruins. The Bruins boast the best top line in the league right now, and the way the Rangers play, they will have their hands full. This will be a track meet.

The Rangers are bad defensively, but they might actually have the high end skill to keep up with the Bruins. The depth, though, might not be there. We should, at the very least, be entertained for this one. Good way to deal with your Thanksgiving hangovers.
