rangers kings

The Rangers continue their homestand tonight against the Kings, and this is going to be an interesting matchup. The Kings have great process and no skill, so they don’t score and get bad goaltending. The Rangers have significantly improving process and the skill to go with it, but have lacked goaltending lately.

The Kings are very good at controlling the tempo of the game, which is something that we’ve seen the Rangers struggle against. Igor Shesterkin gets the start tonight as the three headed goalie rotation continues.
