The Rangers have won three in a row, including their last two against playoff teams. They haven’t been perfect and their 5v5 offense has left a lot to be desired, but they are winning games and getting their confidence back. They have a good opportunity for a 4th straight win tonight in Chicago, as Connor Bedard is out.
Chicago isn’t a good team and they can’t score at all. But they are pretty decent defensively. This is likely to be a low event, low scoring game, something that should help Igor Shesterkin focus on what he’s been working on with Benoit Allaire. It’s a soft landing spot for the struggling goalie.
