The NY Rangers lines tonight will feature the welcomed and needed return of defenseman Ryan Lindgren. The return comes at perhaps the perfect time, with the Rangers set to open a home-and-home against the Carolina Hurricanes tonight at MSG. The Metro Division title is still within reach, albeit barely, and a sweep puts the Rangers in striking distance.
Naturally, this is a huge return for the Rangers. They’ve clamped down defensively a bit now that they can dress 18 skaters, but there have been some issues with overall team defense.
