RANGERS VS DUCKS GAME DAY PREVIEW 11/1

Rangers Finish Road Trip with vist to Anaheim to face Ducks

New York Rangers (4-7-1) vs Anaheim Ducks (5-6-2)

TONIGHT 10:00 PM (Est.-US) Honda Center  Anaheim, CA

TV: MSG, PRIT RADIO: ESPN-NY 98.7 FM

The Rangers will look to buld off their 4-3 shootout win in San Jose on Tuesday and pick up their second win of the four game west coast road trip.

The Rangers (4-7-1) gave up another last-minute goal on Tuesday night to the San Jose Sharks, but rebounded to win 4-3 in the shootout and improve to 1-4-1 on the road this season.
The win came two days after the Rangers blew a two-goal lead at the Los Angeles Kings and later surrendered the tiebreaking goal with 55 seconds left in a 4-3 loss.

The loss to Los Angeles allowed the Kings to end a six-game losing streak, and next the Rangers will face an Anaheim team that has lost six in a row. The Ducks (5-6-2) can relate to the Rangers late-game frustrations. Anaheim tied the score against the visiting Flyers at 17:48 of the third period on Tuesday, only to give up the go-ahead goal 21 seconds later in a 3-2 loss.

This is the first of two meetings this season between the Rangers and Ducks. Last season they split the two game series with wins on home ice. The Rangers won 4-1 at MSG on December 19 and Anaheim picked up a 6-3 win at the Honda Center on January 23.

Alexandar Georgiev is slated to get the start as announced on Monday that he would get one of the two road starts before the Rangers return home.
