The New York Rangers are coming off a feel good win over the Florida Panthers on Sunday. After scoring two power play goals and seeing backup Jaroslav Halak stop 32 of 35 shots, the Blueshirts snapped a two-game losing streak (0-1-1) for their first win out of the holiday break.
Now they will square off against the hottest team in the NHL.
The Carolina Hurricanes edged the New Jersey Devils in a shootout on Sunday to extend their franchise record winning streak to 11 straight games. It will be the first time these two teams have met since the Rangers defeated the Canes in last year’s playoffs.
