Rangers Vs. Blue Jackets: Open Game Thread

The final game of 2018 at MSG is upon us, and with it comes the Columbus Blue Jackets featuring, potentially, Hoodie Tortorella.

The Rangers are 15-14-6, with a league-worst 10 ROW and sitting six points out of a playoff spot. We’re unsure of whether or not Panarin will try to sneak into the Rangers’ locker room during one of the intermissions. What we do know is that the Rangers will get to see how they fare against a backup goalie ... again.

#CBJ Joonas Korpisalo will start tonight vs. #NYR.
