The N.Y. Rangers have lost two in a row and four of seven. Now they head out on the road to a surging Boston team. New York has also lost five of the last seven against winning teams. Boston has won three in a row and ranks #15 in goals scored, #13 on the power play, #10 in goals allowed, tops in penalty killing. A change in head coaches has revived the Bruins, who are 7-1-0 since Bruce Cassidy replaced Claude Julien. Sitting in third place in the Atlantic Division, Boston made a move to bolster its offense by acquiring Drew Stafford from Winnipeg for a sixth-round draft pick. The home team has won seven of the last eight when these area rivals clash, with the Rangers losing seven of the last eight at Boston. Play Boston.
