After opening the 2023-24 campaign with a pair of road contests, the Blueshirts are set to kick off the home portion of the season tonight. The Arizona Coyotes are in town for their annual visit to New York, and Rangers will do their best to send the hometown crowd happy for the first time this season.
The first two games under Peter Laviolette have been a mixed a bag. The Rangers opened the season with a dominant win in Buffalo on Thursday, but played a sloppy, turnover filled game in Columbus on a night where Igor Shesterkin wasn’t as sharp as he usually is.
