It’s way, way to early to be doing this, but if the Rangers and Canadiens meet in the playoffs — as it would be with the way the standings are currently set — then it’s a matchup that would be difficult to complain about.
Because these two Original Six teams played another exciting game, with the Canadiens taking a 3-2 shootout victory over the Rangers on Tuesday night at the Garden. The 3-on-3 overtime period ended in a flurry, as Tomas Plekanec hit the post and then J.T. Miller was robbed by a ridiculous diving save from Carey Price.
