The New York Rangers are back in action this afternoon against the Vegas Golden Knights. The Rangers are coming off of a disappointing 4-3 overtime loss to the Arizona Coyotes. On the other hand, the Golden Knights are also coming off a disappointing Friday night loss after going up 3-0 to the New Jersey Devils and eventually losing 5-4 in overtime.
There are a few lineup changes. First, Adam McQuaid is slotting back into the lineup after being sidelined with a core injury. Based on yesterday’s practice, Brendan Smith once again is the odd man out on defense.
