The Rangers go into tonight’s game with Montreal looking to extend their winning streak to eight games, but they face a team – and building – that they’ve struggled with in recent years.  The Rangers have won just three of their last ten games at the home of Les Habitants, and one of those was in a shootout.  Their overall record in those ten games 3-5-2.

During that period, the Rangers were shut out twice – 6-0 on January 23rd, 2009 and 2-0 back on February 5th this year, the last time the two teams met in Montreal.   They also infamously gave up a 5-0 lead to lose 6-5 in a shootout, in what was the worst collapse in franchise history.
