Get back to where you once belong.
Rangers against the Minnesota Wild.
The second and final meeting between these two teams will take place at MSG tonight. Tonight is just one more big game that the Rangers need to pull out a victory to keep them in the race. Why is tonight so important? Because 8th place Carolina and 9th place Buffalo are playing each other. Either outcome of that game will put strain on the Rangers if they do not come out with a win tonight against the Wild. The Rangers have managed to fare some of the storm, and there are bright points in their game. For one, goals are going in for the Rangers. The problem exists on defense. The Rangers have had the most trouble keeping it out of their own net. The blame is widespread too; not one player is to be blamed for it. Its been an all out disaster for the Rangers in their own zone. The main key for the Rangers to come out victorious tonight will be to get back to that ultra-grind game they've perfected since the start of the season. The Minnesota Wild is not a team that likes to hit or take blocks. Therefore, taking them off their game by doing those things can help throw them off.
My Predictions
I've become a victim of trend here. Unfortunately, I do not see the Rangers coming out on top tonight. No matter how much I hate to admit it, I feel like they are going to drop this very important game.
Wild win 2-1
Martin Havlat will get the first goal for the Wild early in the 1st.
Derek Stepan will get the goal for the Rangers in the 2nd.
and finally, Kyle Brodziak will get the final goal for the Wild.
