Easter Sunday Showdown at MSG
NEW YORK RANGERS vs MONTREAL CANADIENS
EASTERN CONFERENCE QUARTER FINALS GAME 3 SERIES TIED 1-1
Madison Square Garden, NYC 7:00 PM, TV: MSG, NBCSN, SN, TVA Sports RADIO: 98.7 WEPN
Round one continues to night at Madison Square Garden as the Rangers look to regain the series lead. Coming off a disappointing overtime loss on Friday Henrik Lundqvist and the Rangers will take on the Canadiens in a place that has been too friendly during the regular season, home ice.
Although the Rangers won their final regular season home game 3-2 just a week ago against the Pittsburgh Penguins having posted a 21-16-4 record at the World's Most Famous Arena.
Even though he picked up the loss on Friday, Lundqvist is coming in off a 53 save performance. Michael Grabner picked up his second goal of the series versus Montreal while Rick Nash and Mats Zuccarello picked up their first goals of the post season.
The Rangers did not hold practice yesterday so with the exception of Lundqvist starting the lineup has yet to be determined. Possibly look for changes to be made on defense as both Marc Staal and Nick Holden had troubles in game two. The Rangers could see Kevin Klein, Adam Clendening, Steven Kampfer or a combination of any of those three make their post season debuts tonight.
