The New York Rangers put their undefeated record against Carolina on the line tonight at Madison Square Garden. They are coming off a demoralizing loss Monday night in Philadelphia when they were blitzed with four Flyer goals in the third period.
Henrik Lundqvist will be in net again tonight. He has won both of his prior starts against the Hurricanes. He has been spectacular in those two games, making 86 saves on 90 shots. He outright stole the first win, a 4-2 Ranger win in Raleigh and he held the line in the second after the Rangers jumped out to a 3-0 lead only to let the Hurricanes get within a goal in the second period.
