Tonight the New York Rangers (42-27-11) host the New York Islanders (34-38-9) at MSG in the second game of their home-and-home. For a full preview go to Yahoo! Sports.
- Brendan Shanahan is back in the lineup and Henrik Lundqvist will be back in goal.
- The Rangers have not had home ice in the playoffs since 1996.
- In 90 career games against the Islanders, Jaromir Jagr has 58 goals and 81 assists — his most against any opponent in his career.
- The Rangers are 8-0-2 at Madison Square Garden since Feb. 16.
...home ice advantage is still a possibility for the Rangers, so this is an important game. To add to the drama, the Hummer Metro Ice Challenge title is up for grabs as well.
...immediately following tonight's game will be the annual Rangers Blueshirts Off Our Backs ceremony. I wonder which poor fan will get Marek Malik's jersey.
