The New York Rangers go for two in a row as they try to get a streak going against the Buffalo Sabres. They need to get a streak going if they expect to contend for a playoff spot. With two games against Buffalo, followed by a pair with Pittsburgh, this is a crucial stretch for the Rangers. After the Penguins they play twice on Long Island followed by four in a row against the Devils. If they can sweep the Sabres and Devils and split with the Islanders and Penguins, that means eight out of 10 and the playoff hope is alive. Anything less and it will be practically impossible.
