The New York Rangers and Los Angeles Kings faced off in last year’s Stanley Cup finals.
Christian Post Report – In a rematch of last year’s Stanley Cup finals, the Los Angeles Kings visit the Madison Square Garden to face the New York Rangers in the NHL. The match is on March 24, 2015 and the puck drops by 7 p.m. ET.
Last year’s championship showcase ended in a 4-1 series win for the Kings, and the Rangers surely still have that in mind.
And in their first meeting of the season, New York won 4-3 in California.
In that match, Los Angeles took an early lead after Tanner Pearson opened the scoring in only the fifth minute of the match. The Kings doubled the lead less than two minutes after as Justin Williams’ slap shot beat Cameron Talbot. However, Dan Boyle cut the lead in half in the 11th minute of the period, before the Rangers rallied in the second frame behind three goals from Kevin Klein, Martin St. Louis and Lee Tempniak in a span of ten minutes.
Williams scored his second for the Kings in the third period as they tried to mount a comeback but with only four minutes left in the game it was a little too late.
At the moment, the Kings are without Pearson who is slated as week-to-week after an ankle injury early in the calendar year. Jarret Stoll is also sidelined and listed as day-to-day after an upper body injury he got in the second week of March.
For the Rangers, Klein and St. Louis are also out of action as the former injured his arm and is said to return by April, while the latter suffered a lower body injury last week.
Henrik Lundqvist is out indefinitely after a neck injury while the Kings are without lava Voynov for an unknown period of time due to a suspension.
