Buffalo is the better team in this series but these games in New York are closer to a toss-up. Here, New York can slow down Buffalo's potent attack enough to win, as they did in game one. The Rangers held Buffalo to their lowest output in the playoffs. Following six straight 3+ goal performances, Buffalo scored just one goal in Sunday's loss. New York knows that to have a shot in this series, they MUST sweep at home. They'll bring their "A" game yet again tongiht. Henrik Lundqvist has now saved 178 of 192 shots (93%) in the playoffs. Buffalo, as good as they have been this year, is a sub-.500 team vs. goalies saving 91.5%+ of shots this season. We look for New York to find a way again tonight.
