Vaakanainen is ill and can't go tonight, so Jones is in. Vesey still in for Edstrom (who is now listed on IR, which opens up a roster spot)
Shesterkin in goal.
While it's not a must-win tonight, the Rangers are 6 points behind Tampa for the 2nd wildcard (and have played same number of games), and they're facing one of the teams ahead of them.
Rangers defense is too small as it is. Now with Jones in, against Boston. No bueno.
Somebody lit a fire under their asses before the 3rd period against Vegas. They were physical and dominated the period. Now they get Boston, who manhandled them on Saturday. Marchand was challenging everyone, and someone needs to knock the rat on his ass. I’ll either be impressed with the response or disgusted by the non-response.
Here we go - bad luck inside the first minute

Kreider should’ve stuck a glove in Macavoy’s face and set the tone on that whistle. What a waste of a power forward.

Fox doesn’t score goals because Fox doesn’t shoot. Even when he’s in prime shooting position. F'ing maddening.
Rangers allow too many rushes down the middle of the ice

Funny how networks try not to show scrums after the whistle, but they focus on “nastiness” during their promos. The conflicting messaging is dumb.
Nice 4th line shift
