A matinee in the Big Apple opens the 2nd round.
The Canes practiced yesterday and the lines and pairings were the same as the start of Islanders game 5. TDA returned to his spot next to Skjei, apparently none the worse for the slash he took nesr the end of the game. Pesce is expected to return at some point but didn’t travel to New York.
The Rangers have had a full week off after dispatching the hapless Caps. They won 3 of the 4 games by more than 1 goal and only allowed 7 goals in 4 games, holding Ovechkin off the scoresheet. Zibanejad led with 7 points but only 1 goal, Trocheck led with 3 goals. The Rangers scored 6 of their 15 goals on the PP with Trocheck and Roslovic scoring 2 each and Zibanejad and Panarin netting the others.
ESPN for TV today with Sean McDonough, Chicken Parm and Emily Kaplan calling it.
