The Rangers are back home after a long stretch of travel to take on the tanking Red Wings. This game doesn’t have direct #tankathon impact, but the Rangers still have a chance of getting into the top-five, something they haven’t done since 1999. Detroit is in the top-three and not looking back (forward?).
John Gilmour and Vinni Lettieri got the call up yesterday, but I’m unsure where they slot into the lineup. I’m guessing for the most part nowadays. The Wings are bad, but Jimmy Howard in MSG is always tough. With the way the Rangers are playing lately, they might get into that top-five spot sooner than we thought.
