Game 1 means little in most of these series, but would obviously be encouraging to get off to a strong start in this one. At the moment question mark is over Adam Fox and whether he'll place...Brett Pesce will be out for the Canes at least to start the series.
If the Rangers are to win this, they'll need all 4 lines and particularly offense from the top two. LFGR!
I heard that Fast will be out for them as well.
Rangers have distinct size and goaltending advantage.
