The Rangers (14-13-5) face Anaheim (19-11-5) at the Garden.

Welcome to Rangers Rants! Going forward we will have an open thread for each game so that our Forever Blueshirts community can talk (or rant) with each other in the comments section during the action.

Please, keep it clean and civil towards each other. Thanks.

Official: Georgiev starting tonight. Brendan Smith is in, Freddie Claesson is out. Georgiev played five games for @WolfPackAHL and lost them all, but got better the more he played, DQ said. And @HLundqvist30 needs a mental and physical break.
