Tonight, the Hurricanes will meet the New York Rangers for the first time since the bubble where… a certain Carolina Hurricane ended the career of a Rangers defenseman who is now a teammate because of course he is. Anywho, a lot of the Canes will face their former teammates as the New York Rangers come to town to fight the Canes for the lead of the NHL’s Metropolitan division.
In a game that promises a lot of talent, there’s a simple way for Carolina to keep this a winnable fixture. Keep the Rangers star Russian out of the game.
