Tonight the Rangers are looking to bounce back from their awful 2-6-1 stretch against the Oilers, who beat them 7-5 in the ugliest game of the season over the weekend. The Blueshirts will be without Dan Girardi, who is out with a knee injury. This means Brady Skjei will get his first game with the Rangers tonight. Worth noting: He’s not Brian Leetch.
I’d say this is a must win, but that’s a bit much. I’d like to see a much better process from the Rangers. Control the game, control the tempo, win the puck possession battle, and play proper defense.
