"The Rangers have a matinee today in Boston as they look to repeat their Black Friday success at TD Garden. The Rangers won that contest 6-2 in what was, at the time, a sign of life from the Rangers as we hoped they could turn a corner. Of course that didn't happen, and now the Rangers are sinking fast. Boston was in a playoff spot earlier in the season, but they've fallen off as the better teams have picked it up."
"Their issues are in net, as the goaltending hasn't helped their high powered offense hold leads. Funny, since the Rangers can't score and are without their two best players. The Rangers will need more than two goals if they want to stand a chance today.

The Rangers have an afternoon game in Boston at 1pm, facing the Bruins after a previous 6-2 win at TD Garden. The earlier victory briefly signaled recovery, but the Rangers have since regressed, failing to score consistently and missing their two best players. The Bruins started the season in a playoff position but have fallen as other teams improved, and inconsistent goaltending has undermined their high powered offense and allowed leads to slip. Jonathan Quick is projected to start for the Rangers, while Jeremy Swayman will start for the Bruins. Both teams' forward and defensive lines are listed.
