Prediction: New York Rangers 3 – Vancouver Canucks 2
With how pathetic of a performance the Rangers last game was, they have to play well immediately. They lately struggled in the first period and that changed in this game. While Vancouver is a tough opponent, being home the Blueshirts should take care of business tonight.
