Once Upon A Time In Las Vegas – Super Bowl
Playing the second contest of their current back-to-back set, the New York Rangers (3rd in Metropolitan Division) will try to extend their ongoing winning run to five contests while paying a visit to the Carolina Hurricanes (1st in Metropolitan), who haven’t participated in a competitive matchup since Feb. 1.
The current back-to-back stretch of the New York Rangers (30-14-8) started with their fourth consecutive victory after the team expanded its domestic win run to five fixtures following a 6-3 triumph against the Seattle Kraken at Madison Square Garden last night. Vladimir Tarasenko (11 goals, 30 points this year), who was traded to New York by the St. Louis Blues just a day prior, scored on his Blueshirts debut, while Kaapo Kakko (10 goals, 27 points), Vincent Trocheck (15 goals, 37 points) and Ryan Lindgren (1 goal, 16 points) picked up a marker and an assist each. The win extended the ongoing point streak of the Rangers to six matchups (5-0-1).
Goalie Igor Shesterkin stopped 26 shots yesterday and has now gone 23-8-7 for the 2022-23 campaign with a 2.48 GAA and a .916 save percentage. Jaroslav Halak (7-6-1 on the season with a 2.6 6 GAA and a .905 save percentage), though, is expected to patrol New York’s crease in Carolina tonight, having posted a 6-6-1 career record against the Hurricanes with a 2.61 GAA and a .921 save percentage. The Rangers, meanwhile, are netting the 13th highest number of goals per game this year (3.27), while allowing the joint-3rd lowest quantity defensively (2.63). They are 17th in power play (22.2%) and 11th in penalty kill (81.1%).
