New York Rangers Open Thread: Rangers vs Panthers

The New York Rangers have a big game on the line against the last placed Florida Panthers. Can they come away with two big points?



The New York Rangers are on the hunt for two big points tonight as they take on the last placed Florida Panthers at Madison Square Garden. The Rangers are still clinging to the eighth playoff spot, but have the Winnipeg Jets, and Buffalo Sabres closing in pretty quickly. This is an absolute must win game for the Rangers tonight.
