The Rangers are back at it tonight against Buffalo, and this has the potential to be a barn burner. Buffalo scores a ton, but also gives up a ton. The Rangers score a ton, and while they don’t necessarily give up a lot of goals, that’s mostly due to Igor Shesterkin. They have been giving up a good amount of chances and need to shore up their defense process without relying on goaltending.

While the Rangers are clearly the better team, they have the chance to outscore teams that give them space. They are a dangerous team with a blue line that can move the puck and beat the Rangers forecheck. If that happens, this could be a boat race.
