Tonight, as the trade deadline rapidly approaches, the New York Rangers will cross sticks with the visiting Minnesota Wild. The Rangers are coming off of a 2-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday in which we saw Connor Brickley score his first goal with the team and Vladislav Namestnikov pot the game winner. The Wild, on the other hand, are currently stuck in a costly downward spiral.
Minnesota has just one win in their last 10 games and they’re coming off of a 4-0 shutout loss at the hands of the lowly Anaheim Ducks.
