The New York Rangers are one of the hottest teams in the NHL. So, this could be a good chance for the Carolina Hurricanes to measure how they’re playing. The Canes come into Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night for a big Metro Division battle.
The Hurricanes are still trying to adjust to new lineup combinations after the loss of All-Star forward Andrei Svechnikov to a season-ending knee injury.
The Rangers (41-19-10, 92 points) have won four in a row by a combined score of 22-5, including the weekend domination of Pittsburgh by 6-0 and Nashville by 7-0.
