The New York Rangers are in Buffalo, New York for a Friday night matchup against the Sabres. This is the third and final meeting of the season series. Each team has won its home game so far this season.
The Rangers and Sabres are in very opposite positions going into tonight’s game. The Rangers are in the middle of a four game road trip, and are slipping away from a playoff spot as the trade deadline approaches.
The Sabres, on the other hand, are at the end of a seven game homestand. They need every point they can get going forward as they are on the cusp of ending a long playoff drought.
