Christian Post Report – Rick Nash of the New York Rangers
The Rangers have won four straight in the Garden, including a 4-1 win against the Nashville Predators.
In that contest between two of the top teams in the league, New York got off to an early lead after Marc Staal scored in the first seven minutes of the contest. Chris Kreider then doubled the lead in the second period before Matt Cullen cut the deficit in half with a wrister.
However, the Rangers proved to be too much as Dominic Moore ad Rick Nash netted in the last period to eventually win 4-1.
Kevin Klein will not be available for New York after suffering an arm injury early in the week. He has joined goalie Henrik Lundqvist in the list of injuries with the shot-stopper out indefinitely after a neck injury.
For the Panthers, they are still trying to climb the rankings as they find themselves in the lower half of the Eastern Conference.
Nick Bjugstad and Jonathan Huberdeau lead the team statistically but they will need to get help from veterans like Jussi Jokinen as they try to make a late push in the season.
Like the Rangers, Florida are missing top goalie Roberto Luongo who has been out since the first week of the month due to a shoulder injury. Unfortunately, Al Montoya also suffered a groin injury leaving the Panthers short-handed when it comes to the goalie position.
New York have won their first two meetings of the season, first a 5-2 victory in Florida, followed by another dazzling 6-3 win in New York.
In the home win, the score was tied 3-3 coming into the final period before three straight goals within a 10-minute span gave New York a much-deserved victory.
This will be their final meeting of the regular season.
