The New York Rangers got back in the win column with Wednesday's victory over the Calgary Flames and finished out their west coast trip tonight against the Vancouver Canucks. The Canucks have lost six straight games and nine of their last 10 heading into today's game. The Rangers currently sit in third place of the Metropolitan Division but are only three points ahead of the Washington Capitals, who have three games in hand.
The Rangers are likely to deploy the same lines as their victory against the Flames. Sean Durzi remains out for the Blueshirts but has returned to practice in a non-contact jersey. Between the pipes for the Rangers will be Dylan Garand after watching the previous game. The Canucks are expected to see former Ranger Filip Chytil return to the lineup. Leevi Merilainen will get the start in net for the Canucks.
Looks like this will be the lineup again. Rempe, Glendening and Del Gaizo are staying on the ice late as the expected scratches. #NYR https://t.co/9UQQTsCHAF

Cable/Network TV: MSG Network, NHL website, NHL app, and DAZN
National Broadcast: ESPN+
Radio: 1050 AM
Player to Watch: J.T. Miller
For the first time this season, J.T. Miller sees his previous team on the ice. Miller's game has improved from last season's down year with 14 points in 20 games to begin the season.
While Miller has been taken off the first power play unit, his role and play in an even-strength scenario have helped the Rangers this season. Considering their thin depth at the position, in order for a successful season, the Rangers need him to keep it up.
Enjoy the game!
