After getting just two of four possible points against the dregs of the Eastern Conference, the Rangers face by far the best team right now in the Boston Bruins. This is a team that hasn’t lost at home since 2021, so luckily this game is at MSG. The Bruins are good up and down the lineup and have very few, if any, flaws.
Other good news for the Rangers is they get Chris Kreider back, bumping Sammy Blais from the lineup. The Rangers have had trouble scoring and putting up good offensive numbers with Kreider out, so hopefully his return sparks them a bit. That said, it’s still the Bruins, so they will need to be at their best tonight.
