The New York Rangers viewed an early Western Conference trip as an opportunity to bond with each other and avoid a tough stretch late in the season when they might be jockeying for playoff positioning. Now they can also view it as an enormous success. The Rangers will attempt to cap a perfect five-game trip with another win Monday night when they visit the Winnipeg Jets. The Rangers are playing their seventh road game out of nine contests to start the season and are 4-0-0 on their trip against Western Conference opponents. In the first three games of the trip, the Rangers outscored Seattle, Calgary and Edmonton by a 10-2 margin, but the fourth game was slightly more difficult to get the two points. New York outlasted Vancouver for a 4-3 victory Saturday when K'Andre Miller scored his second career overtime goal off a pass from Chris Kreider 3:48 into the extra period. Artemi Panarin, Adam Fox and Mika Zibanejad scored power-play goals as the Rangers blew a pair of one-goal leads. We think the Rangers play well and play with pride here tonight and get the W. Let's roll with New York.
