The Rangers look to continue their winning ways and get some revenge on the Columbus Blue Jackets, who handed the Rangers their first loss of the season in October. The Blueshirts dominated that game, but were puck luck victims with several disallowed goals. Generally speaking, if the Rangers play the same way they did in that game, they will win. But the Blue Jackets are a solid offensive team, so they shouldn’t be overlooked.

Jonathan Quick is back for the Blueshirts, meaning Louis Domingue will be the backup tonight after a solid start against Minnesota on Thursday night. After this game, the Rangers have a 5 day break in the schedule, which is hopefully when both Igor Shesterkin and Filip Chytil get back into the lineup.
