The Rangers took the first meeting of the season between these two teams, a 4-1 victory in Manhattan on January 4th, and now will look to complete a sweep of the season series.
Featuring a roster that was already mostly devoid of talent when the season began, the Blackhawks will be without Connor Bedard in this contest. After skating against the Blueshirts in the previous matchup, Bedard suffered a broken jaw on a hit from former Ranger Brendan Smith the following night against the New Jersey Devils, and has been out of the lineup ever since. The results have been predictable as Chicago currently sits dead last in the league wide standings with an ugly 14-35-2 record, and the Rangers will look to make that mark a little bit uglier.
