The New York Rangers look to join the Boston Bruins in the NHL Playoffs

The New York Rangers are scrambling to get into the same position that the Boston Bruins are in. The Bruins have already clinched a playoff berth and will be in the NHL post season, but depending on how the season winds up for the Rangers, they could be on the outside looking in.

With the playoff spot already earned and with at least the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference all but locked up, Bruins coach Claude Julien gave defenseman Johnny Boychuk a night off Tuesday night. The move will be followed by others. The Bruins have the luxury of resting players down the stretch as the playoffs approach. This will ensure a healthy team heading into the NHL’s second season.

The Rangers are stumbling heading into this game losing to the wrong teams like the Buffalo Sabres and the New York Islanders. Combined with a listless 1-0 loss in Buffalo the previous night, the Rangers have slipped to eighth place in the Eastern Conference. They suddenly are just three points ahead of No. 9 Carolina with four games to play, and with the Hurricanes controlling a game in hand. This leaves little room for the Rangers as the season winds down and games like the one against Boston, become very important.

Right Wing Mats Zuccarello returned to the lineup after being a healthy scratch the previous two games, replacing winger Wojtek Wolski, who has no goals in his last 14 appearances. This could be the difference the Rangers need as they stake their claim on the playoffs.

The desperate Rangers will beat the Bruins who are coasting to the playoffs.
