The Rangers are back at it in Boston, with hope on the horizon. Artemi Panarin is with the team, but not in the lineup tonight. He will likely return on Saturday. For now, it’s just Alex Georgiev in net. Boston doesn’t produce much offense outside of their top line, but they are a great defensive team, so the Rangers will have to manufacture ways to score.
Good news/Bad news tonight for NYR.
Good: Boston has been a bottom-10 team in terms of expected goals for and that trend hasn't changed.
