The Montreal Canadians go in pursuit of securing a play-off position as they travel to the New York Rangers in what promises to be an intriguing battle in the Eastern Conference.

Montreal Canadians @ New York Rangers
Madison Square Garden
Sunday 3rd March 2019
The Canadians currently sit 4th in the Atlantic Division and have a big points gap between the teams above and below them.
They have only won 4 of their last 10 games and need to string some wins together if that are to make the play-offs.
Max Domi was in electrifying form in their 8-1 thumping of Detroit last time out and they’ll be hoping for more of the same here.
The New York Rangers sit 7th in the Metropolitan Division and just cannot maintain any levels of consistency.
With 27 wins and 26 defeats this term – they have lost their last two in overtime and will be hoping for a change in fortunes soon.
Mika Zibanejad is consistently the go-to man for the Rangers and he will be looking to have a big impact here.
Neither side has much form to speak of here but the Montreal Canadians are a strong and well-organised side.
