The New York Rangers wrap up their Western Canada road trip tonight in Vancouver, having gone 2-1 thus far and already meeting expectations of four points on the trip. Vancouver is not a good hockey team, but they do win games occasionally and have a strong top line that can punish the Rangers if they take Vancouver lightly. The Rangers made the Calgary Flames game much closer than it needed to be, so hopefully that’s a lesson learned in getting things done right. This is not a game that should be close.
Note: This was written at noon EST, long before lines/goalies were confirmed. This is a best guess, as I’m not around tonight to make changes once confirmed.
