Following a disappointing effort against the Detroit Red Wings, the Rangers will look to rebound tonight. The New York Islanders are set to make their first of two trips into Madison Square Garden for the 2022-23 campaign. The Islanders shut the Blueshirts out by a 3-0 score on October 26th, and another regulation defeat for the Rangers would hand the Islanders’ the season series.
In the wake of the poor showing on Sunday, Gerard Gallant has opted for a major shakeup among his forward lines. Most notably, Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad have been broken up to play on separate lines.
