After their big win on Thursday night, the New York Rangers are back at it tonight against the New Jersey Devils. This is one of the lone games the Rangers have against a non-playoff team, so two points is a must here. Two points is a must in every game going forward. If 98 points is the goal, they have four regulation losses remaining.
Igor Shesterkin is likely back tonight. Kaapo Kakko and Julien Gauthier swapped lineup spots. That’s it for the lineup changes. After that big win, the Garden should be rocking tonight.
