With just six games left to play this season, the Rangers will face-off tonight against a St. Louis Blues club on the precipice of a playoff berth. Puck drop for the game is 7 PM EST.
Kreider and Staal will return to lineup, Gilmour and Claesson sitting, Smith shifting to D tonight v Blues. Georgiev in nets.

The Blues need just one point to secure their entry to the Western Conference opening round — a factor the Rangers could play spoiler to so long as the Arizona Coyotes also lose to the Colorado Avalanche when they play one another later this evening.
