The Rangers wrap up their western Canada swing tonight in Winnipeg in an oddly timed game, at least for those in Winnipeg. The 7:30pm start here is a 5:30pm start in Winnipeg. Start time aside, the Blueshirts have a chance to sweep the road trip, having won their prior four games through Seattle and western Canada.

The Blueshirts are running the same lineup they’ve run throughout this streak with Igor Shesterkin in net. Winnipeg is a decent team, but they’ve been getting goalie’d by their own netminders, as Connor Hellebuyck has had an atrocious start to the season. Naturally, this means he will look like Ken Dryden tonight.
