New York Rangers Open Thread: Rangers Vs. Panthers

The New York Rangers will have an opportunity to win their third straight game tonight, as they welcome the Florida Panthers to Madison Square Garden. The Panthers are win-less in their last eight, while the Rangers have won five of their last six as well as six of the last eight.

The Rangers are finally starting to look like the team everyone expected to be, and they have another chance at bringing home two points tonight. Henrik Lundqvist will be getting the start for the Rangers, and Scott Clemmensen will start at the other end for the Panthers.

Player To Watch:

Mats Zuccarello

#36 / Right Wing / New York Rangers

Height: 5-7

Weight: 179

Born: Sep 01, 1987

After a rough stretch of games to start the year, Mats Zuccarello is starting to round into form with his line mates. Zuccarello, Derek Stepan, and Chris Kreider have been the Rangers best forward line thus far, and a large part of their success is thanks to Zuccarello's play making ability. I feel another strong game from Zuke tonight.
