The Preds return home after a successful outing in Dallas and a disappointing one in Denver to host the Rangers.
The New York Rangers
Artemi Panarin is still wowing the crowds, with a team-leading 15 goals and 36 points. Defender Adam Fox has 24 assists, and young William Cuylle is off to a strong start with 11 goals. Familiar names like Chris Kreider, Mika Zibanejad, and Alexis Lafrenière are also regular contributors.
Jonathan Quick is turning in an impressive performance in goal, and Igor Shesterkin has been no slouch either. Despite the Rangers’ traditional porous defense, they’re still getting more-than-adequate goaltending, though they’ve honed their offense some since the Lundqvist era.
