The Predators complete the back-to-back turn tonight at MSG against the New York Rangers. The Predators dominated the first period in their win against the NY Islanders and came away with a 3-1 victory and extending the win streak to five.
The Rangers are on a tear winning 6 out of the last 8 but only 1-2-0 in the last three games. Their last loss came on January 15th against a sub-par Montreal team and their backup goalie Peter Budaj.
Can the Predators play under the microscope of nationwide coverage and continue the streak? Game time is at 6:30 central on NBC Sports Channel.
This Year’s Series: N/A
Looking at the Rangers: Simply put, the Rangers are a dangerous team with top notch talent in all aspects of their game. Offensive skills: look to none other than Gaborik, Richards, Callahan and Stepan. On the defensive side, the Rangers have great two-way play from Del Zotto, McDonagh and Girardi (voted to his first All-Star appear...

LEFTOVER THOUGHTS:
* Coming into Tuesday’s game, the Rangers were 20-1-1 this season when scoring first.
* Additionally, they were 17-0-2 when leading after two periods.
* Ryan Suter missed the game with an upper-body injury.
* Seeing as how this is his first absence this season, the Predators...

… Ryan Callahan said what I was thinking, this isn’t your typical Rangers from the last few seasons. One loss does not snowball out of control and lead to long losing streaks. They have bounced back very quickly from a loss to take control of the next game. If the Rangers keep playing this way, [...]

Inevitable Rangers @ Canadiens Post Game Thoughts…
Rangers don’t win in Montreal. Period. Anyone who is shocked we lost should have their head examined. We don’t win in Montreal. WE DON’T WIN IN MONTREAL. Rangers should just concede these 2 games every year and not even make the trip.
That’s all I’m going to say on this game. Honestly, I probably should have just written this one before the game...

This, as expected, was a relatively boring game. The Predators ran their 1-2-2/1-4 trap to perfection, but the Rangers were able to adjust to a dump and chase and generate some goals off board play. In the end, it was a grind it out game that had the Rangers emerge victorious, with another shutout for Henrik Lundqvist. This was a very important win for the Rangers who had lost two...

January 18, 2012
There has been a possibility that Shea Weber could be going to the Vancouver Canucks. Weber will become a restricted free agent after this season. I think the Canucks should offer Keith Ballard, Mason Raymond and Cody Hodgson for Weber. For the Predators, they’ll be getting some young players and also Ballard’s contract. It would be nice to not add Ballard to the name, but if...
