The Rangers are in Colorado this afternoon to take on a surprisingly hot Colorado team that is no longer a push over. The Avs are 9-1 in their last ten games and have skyrocketed in the standings. They are also crazy good at home (17-7-1). With the Rangers down a top pairing defenseman and top line winger, this is going to be a challenge.
For the Rangers, all eyes will be on Tony DeAngelo. DeAngelo was called up in light of the injury to Kevin Shattenkirk, and may see regular playing time.
