Beaten Rangers salute Canadians
Rangers may have had a lot of success lately, but they’ll need to roll up their sleeves to beat the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday (5:00 p.m. ET; MSG, RDS, TSN2, ESPN+, SN NOW).
It’s not because of the Habs’ recent performances that Rangers (24-12-7) need to redouble their efforts as Montreal (17-23-3) have only picked up three wins in their last 15 games, but more because of a gut virus that’s been in the game Team dressing room invaded. attacker Artemi Panarin and Vitali Kravstsov are affected, as is the defender Ryan Lindgren. In addition, Rangers strikers are to be withdrawn Chris Kreider (upper body) and Julien Gauthier (Upper body).
Despite these absences, the Rangers are on fire. They are 5-0-2 in their last seven games, giving them promotion to third place in the Metropolitan Division, who would miss the playoffs before this sequence begins.
The good news for the New Yorkers is that they will face a club playing a second game in less than 24 hours. On Saturday, across the East River, CH faced the New York Islanders in a game that ended 2-1 in favor of the local team.
Samuel Montembeault will get a second straight start and he should face up Igor Shesterkin. Canadians will return Mike Hoffman and Michael Pezzetta in formation. Jake Evanswho was injured in Saturday’s game, and Chris Weitman are the players giving up their place.
Hurricanes’ advocates lead the charge
All is going well for the Carolina Hurricanes’ blue-line players, and they could still have a say against the Vancouver Canucks at PNC Arena on Sunday (5 p.m. ET; BSSO, SNP, ESPN+, SN NOW).
Carolina (27-9-7) has seen his defensemen make a big contribution to offensive play this season with a total of 26 goals, level on points with the New York Islanders at the top of the NHL. In the last two games, the Hurricanes have seen their guards score seven goals, which has only happened four times in league history.
The Canucks (17-22-3) are playing the last game of a five-game road series. They haven’t signed the win during this journey, they’ve conceded 21 goals in their last four games. Conversely, the Hurricanes appear to have recovered from a dire streak of four straight losses (0-3-1) as they just won their last two meetings, including a 2-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday.
Ehler’s return pays dividends for Jets
The Winnipeg Jets are having a good season and returning to the game Nikolai Ehlers should help them to become even better.
The forward missed 36 games to undergo sports hernia surgery in late November. He returned to the game on January 6 and is now on a four-game points streak (three goals, five assists). He’s a key part of the Jets’ (28-14-1) recent success, who have just won seven of their last eight games and could elevate that record on Sunday when they host the Arizona Coyotes (13-24-5) Canada Life Center (7 p.m. ET; NHLN, TSN3, BSAZ, SN NOW).
The Coyotes lost 2-1 to the Minnesota Wild on Saturday and have lost their eight games since winning three straight games. the attacker Lawson Crouse has 16 goals under his belt, four fewer than his career high of 20 set last season.
Connor Hellebuyck, who has won five of his last six starts, is expected to be a regular for the Jets. He meets Karel Vejmelka.
