The New York Rangers Seek Home Ice Advantage Over the Montreal Canadiens

When the New York Rangers face off against the Montreal Canadiens they will try to establish a home ice advantage that has escaped them of late. This edge will be crucial as the Rangers wind down the season and head towards a playoff berth.

Madison Square Garden hasn't provided much of a home-ice advantage for the Rangers this season, but they will need it to be one over the final dozen games if they are to get back to the Stanley Cup playoffs.

The Blueshirts' 6-3 win over the Islanders on Tuesday night marked their first of seven games at home among their final 12 (including their current four-of-five stretch). They are (4-6-1) in their last 11 games at The Garden and are back to .500 (16-16-3) on Broadway this season entering Friday's game against Montreal.

The Rangers actually have averaged about half a goal more per game at home this season. But they have fared better on the road with 21 victories, tied for fourth in the NHL. A win over Montreal would bring back some of the mystique that the Garden provides for the home town hockey team.

The Canadiens are 1-5 in their last six games playing in back-to-=back nights and the Canadiens are 0-4 in their last 4 in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 situation.

The Rangers are 5-2 in their last seven Friday games, 5-2 in their last seven against the Eastern Conference, and 4-1 in their last five overall.

The Rangers have the home-ice and they have the better schedule entering this game. The Rangers will play in a rested spot, while Montreal is in back-to-back nights and in a 4 in 6 game situation.

The Rangers get the win at home and get their home ice edge back.
