After a statement win over the Dallas Stars 24 hours ago, the Rangers are set for what could be their toughest test before the end of the season. David Quinn’s squad is in the Mile High City tonight, as they’ll look to keep the ball rolling against Nazem Kadri, Ryan Graves, and the rest of the Colorado Avalanche. While any set of back-to-back games is a challenge, the Blueshirts will have to deal with the increased elevation that every trip into the Pepsi Center brings.
With a win tonight, New York can pull to within a single point of the Columbus Blue Jackets and Carolina Hurricanes, who are currently in possession of the Eastern Conference’s two Wild Card spots.
