Preview:
It's the first time back at MSG since May for the Bruins, how exciting! Last time the Bruins were here, good things happened. Since then, the Rangers fired their coach and brought in old friend Benoit Pouliot, who's now playing on their fourth line and has all of four points through 20 games. Remember when he was drafted fifth overall? Good times.
Plot twist: Rick Nash, who's missed the Rangers' last 17 games with a concussion, may make his return to their lineup tonight. No word on who'd get to hang out in the press box and how their lines will shuffle if Nash comes in, but his return could make things hairy for the Bruins tonight.
It's the second game of a back-to-back, and these are never fun. The Rangers are 7-3-0 in their last 10 games, and you can bet they'll be looking to leave a mark on the Bruins after last year.
NEVER FORGET:
Winning at home is nice.
