Today is an exciting day in the New York sports world. The Jets are poised to select their quarterback of the future three years after drafting their previous quarterback of the future. The Giants have an opportunity to add a major playmaker on either side of the football. But those festivities don’t start until later tonight, and it’s the state’s hockey teams that will be taking center stage early in the night.
Tonight represents a must-win game for the Blueshirts. Due to the results of other teams around them, the Islanders have emerged over the Bruins as the most likely team the Rangers can chase down for a playoff spot.
