The Rangers and Hawks finish up their two games this year, as the back end of the home and home continues tonight. The Rangers beat Chicago on the backs of Artemiy Panarin and Alex Georgiev, and will look to sweep the season series with another win tonight. It will likely be the same lineups for both teams.
The Rangers, this time around, won’t be on the back end of a back to back, so hopefully their performance will be a little better and a little more consistent. Chicago is finding some good play lately, despite their rough position in the standings. They do have some good skill, so playing another solid game defensively is key.
While this isn’t a “must win” by any sense, the Rangers do have to travel home tonight for a 7pm tomorrow against Colorado. The cards are stacked against them for that, so two points here would be nice.
