New York Rangers Open Thread: Rangers Vs. Lightning

The New York Rangers are set to take on the Tampa Bay Lightning tonight at Madison Square Garden, starting at 7:00 PM.



The New York Rangers will be in search of their fourth straight win tonight as they take on the Tampa Bay Lightning at Madison Square Garden. The Lightning are coming into this game having played last night against the Columbus Blue Jackets, and falling by a score of 3-2. Ben Bishop will likely get the start for the Lightning, while Henrik Lundqvist will get the start for the Blueshirts.

Chris Kreider picked up a goal and an assist last game against the Philadelphia Flyers, and has stepped up his game quite a bit. Ever since that boarding major against Fedor Tyutin, Kreider has been shying away from contact and the dirty areas of the ice. He's coming back into form nicely, and I can see him having another big game tonight for the Rangers.
