About the Rangers
The Rangers have won three consecutive games heading into tonight’s meeting with the Boston Bruins. In their first 11 games, the Rangers have averaged more than four goals — 45 goals in total, tops in the NHL.
Rangers LW J.T. Miller has four goals and eight assists in 11 games this season. RW Rick Nash and LW Jimmy Vesey share the team’s goal lead (six).
G Antti Ranta is expected to start tonight for the Rangers, meaning it’s likely the Jets will face G Henrik Lundqvist. The veteran netminder is 6-3-0 on the season with a .913 save percentage.
