The Rangers are in action tonight against the Detroit Red Wings in a “Wednesday Night Rivalry” game on NBCSN. I use that phrase loosely, as there is no real rivalry between the Rangers and Red Wings. It’s one of those Original Six matchups that people still think is a rivalry. But I digress.
Kevin Klein returns tonight, taking Dylan McIlrath’s spot in the lineup (let’s keep the outrage over this isolated to the lineup decisions post, please). This is a good game for him to return, as Detroit isn’t exactly a powerhouse this year.
