The Rangers are back at MSG tonight to take on the Dallas Stars, fresh off their two wins over the Detroit Red Wings. Unlike the league worst Wings, Dallas is in a playoff spot and likely going to be playing hockey in April. This means the Rangers, who were not as dominant in their second go-round with Detroit, will need to limit their mistakes.
Chris Kreider, who was a participant in the morning skate, will be a game time decision. Phil Di Giuseppe was recalled just in case. Henrik Lundqvist, coming off a shutout on Saturday, is in net again. This lines Alex Georgiev up for the Leafs on Wednesday.
