The New York Rangers take on the Boston Bruins, today in Boston. The puck drops at 5 p.m., and once again the Rangers playoff lives are on the line. Trailing the series 3-1, the Rangers still need to gut out 3 wins before the Bruins get one.
The Rangers must continue to gain momentum through the play of Henrik Lundvquist. Knowing what they have behind them in net should allow for the Rangers to come out aggressive and set the tone. The Rangers also must continue to put pressure on the Bruins with their power-play. In Game 4, the Rangers scored on the man advantage for the first time in the series.
Rick Nash, Ryan Callahan and Brian Boyle must all come up big for the Rangers to continue their push after falling behing 0-3. Brad Richards once again will be a healthy scratch, as coach Tortorella is sending a message that no one is safe from bad play.
