New York Rangers vs. Vancouver Canucks preview

The struggling Rangers host the Canucks at Madison Square Garden in what's shaping up to be a crucial matchup for both teams' playoff hopes.

Vancouver's Quinn Hughes has been the bright spot in their lineup, leading the team with 66 points and showing why he's one of the league's elite defensemen.

The Rangers' home ice advantage has completely evaporated lately - they've dropped their last five at the Garden, which must be driving their faithful fans nuts.

Keep an eye on Artemi Panarin, who's been the Rangers' offensive catalyst with 31 goals and 44 assists, though he'll need more support from his teammates to snap their current skid.

Vancouver's Kevin Lankinen has stepped up admirably in Thatcher Demko's absence, posting four shutouts and a respectable 2.56 GAA - not bad for a guy who started the season as a backup.

The Rangers' Igor Shesterkin hasn't quite found his Vezina-caliber form this year, sporting a 2.81 GAA that's a bit higher than what New York fans are used to seeing from their star netminder.

These teams tend to put on a show when they meet - their last six matchups have all gone over the total, with plenty of end-to-end action.

With both squads desperate for points in the wild card race, expect an intense, high-energy battle that could come down to which goalie stands tallest under pressure.
