"The Rangers have won five of their last six games, with all five wins coming off strong efforts. The one game in the middle is the one that broke many, the Tampa game, but it appears that was the blip and not the five wins in six games. But now the NHL's best team comes to MSG for a matinee matchup."
"The Rangers made a slight change to how they've approached breakouts, or perhaps this is just better execution. Look for more support low on breakouts, which has helped a blue line that doesn't move the puck well. This could be a fun game, or it could be a Tampa game. Let's hope for the former.

Rangers form has improved with five wins in six games, with the lone loss to Tampa now appearing an outlier. A top NHL team visits MSG for a matinee, creating a significant home test that could matter more for confidence than standings points. The team adjusted breakouts with more support low, which has aided a blue line that struggles to move the puck. Line combinations feature Artemi Panarin, Mika Zibanejad, Alexis Lafreniere, JT Miller, Vincent Trocheck, and Igor Shesterkin getting the start. Opponent lines and goalie Mackenzie Blackwood are listed. Game time is 12:30 p.m.
