No. 2:  New York Rangers

Previous:  2nd

Season Record:  20-9-1

The Rangers will go for their fourth win in a row when the have a rematch against the Chicago Blackhawks tonight.  They beat them 1-0 in overtime last Friday.

The story of the week is back-up goaltender Antti Raanta, who was named second star of the week by the NHL.  He has played in three consecutive games, where he has had recorded back-to-back shutouts, and only allowing one goal.  Will he get a fourth start?  Or will the Rangers go with their starter, Henrik Lundqvist?
