After stealing two points from the Florida Panthers on Monday, the Rangers have had the last four days off to regroup and get a handful of good practice sessions in. With tonight’s game being the first of a back to back set, Gerard Gallant’s squad will need to bring its A-game to Nationwide Arena tonight if they want to earn a victory against Max Domi, Oliver Bjorkstrand, and the rest of the Columbus Blue Jackets.
These two teams squared off in Manhattan just before the Blueshirts’ northwestern road trip, and the Rangers won that contest by a 4-0 margin to take the early lead in the season series.
