Preview Skate? Either way, it\u2019s a two-for-one deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Rangers come into this game second-last in the Metropolitan Division with 46 points, tied with the Columbus Blue Jackets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Rangers find themselves five points out of the second wild card spot with a bunch of teams in between, so it\u2019s fair to say it\u2019s been a very disappointing season on Broadway thus far.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Igor Shesterkin suffered a lower-body injury against Utah earlier this week, putting him on injured reserve. The Rangers will turn to Jonathan Quick in net in the meantime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Overall, the Rangers have lost five of their last six games, with two of those losses coming beyond regulation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">As you may remember, the Bruins already hosted the Rangers once this season, losing 6-2 on Black Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to the weekend, folks!
