|
| | | NY RANGERS: LAST SEASON: 53-22-7, 113 points. Won Presidents' Trophy,
Metropolitan Division. Lost to Tampa Bay Lightning in Eastern
Conference finals.
COACH: Alain Vigneault, 14 NHL seasons, 520-341-35-74.
ADDED: RW Emerson Etem, G Antti Raanta, LW Viktor Stalberg, C
Jarret Stoll, D Raphael Diaz, C Brian Gibbons, C Jayson Megna, C
Matt Linblad, C Luke Adam.
LOST: LW Carl Hagelin, G Cam Talbot, RW Martin St. Louis, D Matt
Hunwick, C Chris Mueller, C James Sheppard.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Chris Kreider. The 24-year-old left wing is
coming off a career-high, 21-goal season and the Rangers'
hierarchy believes he is capable of becoming one of the NHL's
elite players. He has size, speed and the toughness to take a
major step this season and join Rich Nash as a major contributor
on offense.
OUTLOOK: The Rangers have been close the past two seasons and
many wonder whether they missed their chance to win their first
Stanley Cup since 1994. Jeff Gorton replaced Glen Sather as the
general manager in the offseason and didn't make any major
moves, other than keeping young core players Derek Stepan, J.T.
Miller and Jesper Fast. If goalkeeper Henrik Lundqvist has
another 30-win season, Nash (42 goals) is among the league
leaders and a veteran defense delivers led by Ryan McDonagh
stays healthy, New York will get one more shot at a title. | | BOSTON: LAST SEASON: 41-27-14, 96 points. Fifth in Atlantic Division.
Missed playoffs for first time since 2007.
COACH: Claude Julien (ninth season, 13th NHL season).
ADDED: F Jimmy Hayes, D Matt Irwin, F Matt Beleskey
LOST: D Dougie Hamilton, F Milan Lucic, F Daniel Paille, F Carl
Soderberg, GM Peter Chiarelli.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Zdeno Chara. The 38-year-old defenseman is
coming off his worst season since 2002-03 with eight goals and
12 assists - an average of less than one point every three
games. The 2009 Norris Trophy winner sustained a knee injury
early last season and wasn't his dominating self after that. He
picked up an undisclosed upper body injury this preseason and is
day-to-day heading into the opener. The Bruins will need him to
recover, with No. 2 defenseman Dennis Seidenberg also out for
the start of the season.
OUTLOOK: Chiarelli was fired after deals that put the team in
salary cap purgatory and forced him to deal talent to make more
space. His former assistant and Harvard teammate Don Sweeney
took over and kept Julien on board. Sweeney dealt Lucic and
Hamilton to clear space. But with Chara, G Tuukka Rask and F
Patrice Bergeron remaining as the spine of the team that went to
the Stanley Cup Finals in 2013 and won the Presidents' Trophy
the following season, the Bruins shouldn't miss the playoffs
again. |
| | Rangers-Bruins Preview By TOM CASTRO STATS Senior Editor
The New York Rangers have a gaudy record, but that was hardly on their minds after an alarming loss their last time out. Avoiding another one Friday means ending the four-game winning streak of the Boston Bruins, who have dominated their series in recent years. Despite its fast start, New York (16-4-2) stumbles into TD Garden looking to bounce back from a 5-1 rout to Montreal on Wednesday that snapped a nine-game home win streak. The Rangers again have championship aspirations but looked outclassed by the Canadiens, perhaps their biggest obstacle to getting out of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Montreal scored three times in the third period to put the game out of reach and won despite the departure of star goaltender Carey Price to injury after the second. "We didn't obviously answer the bell for the challenge we had tonight," coach Alain Vigneault told the team's official website. "We are going to have a good practice (Thursday) and get ready for Boston." Counterpart Henrik Lundqvist allowed five goals for the first time in 45 starts and was pulled with 10 minutes left in the game. "I'm extremely disappointed to give up five goals," said Lundqvist, who managed to remain the NHL leader in goals-against average at 1.94 by one-hundredth of a point over Washington's Braden Holtby. "I've been feeling good lately, so hopefully this was just a little bump in the road. I felt good for two periods, but then that third goal was a big letdown. For some reason I lost attention to detail there a little bit." The Rangers, who came in having won 11 of 12, have dropped nine of 11 to the Canadiens. They've had similar problems against the Bruins (12-8-1), who are 5-1-0 in the last six meetings and 7-1-2 in 10 - lopsided results that could also spell trouble for the Rangers in the East playoffs. Frank Vatrano scored his second goal of the game in overtime to give streaking Boston a 3-2 victory at Detroit on Wednesday. Vatrano deflected rookie defenseman Colin Miller's shot past Petr Mrazek for his third NHL goal. ''It feels great. Really a big win for us,'' Vatrano said. Miller scored his second career goal with 1:44 left to tie the game. ''The first two periods it was really frustrating watching our team play,'' coach Claude Julien said. ''Our young guys came through tonight and we found a way to win, but we've got to be better.'' The Red Wings held a 34-22 shot advantage, including 11-4 in the second period. Jonas Gustavsson gave Tuukka Rask a day off with 32 saves, and Rask is expected to be back in net Friday. He's posted a 1.95 goals-against average in 15 career starts against the Rangers. New York's Rick Nash scored Wednesday to give him five goals in three games after recording two in his first 17. He's scored a goal in his last two matchups with the Bruins. Boston's Loui Eriksson had an assist against Detroit to give him four goals and three assists in the past six games. He's off to a strong start with nine goals and 10 assists, putting him well ahead of his pace of last season, when he finished with 22 goals and 25 assists. Eriksson has recorded six points in a five-game streak against New York. Teammate Patrice Bergeron has three goals and an assist in his last five matchups. The Bruins have outscored opponents 4-0 in the first period during their win streak and are second in the league in goal differential in the opening 20 minutes at plus-9 - one behind the Rangers. |
