NYR TODAY Tuesday 52: Rangers vs Senators Game 3 Preview, Alumni Birthdays, Today in Rangers History

NEW YORK RANGERS GAME DAY PREVIEW
Rangers look to gain footing in Game Three



NEW YORK RANGERS VS OTTAWA SENATORS
Eastern Conference Semi-Finals Game 3 (Ottawa leads series 2-1)
Madison Square Garden, NYC 7:00 PM, TV: NBCSN, CBC, TVAS RADIO: WEPN 98.7

Game 3 of Round 2 heads to the sometimes not so friendly confines of Madison Square Garden. A place where during the regular season the Rangers struggled to defeat opponents but have won 2 of their 3 home appearances in the playoffs. The Rangers are coming off a disappointing 6-5 overtime loss in game 2 after leading.

Saying they are confident that they will gain their first win against Ottawa tonight there are questions that loom overhead as coach Vigneault has yet to set his roster for tonight's contest. There are rumors that the struggling J.T. Miller will be moved to the 4th line along with Tanner Glass returning in place of rookie Pavel Buchnevich although  Buchnevich was set with Miller and Oscar Lindberg for the 4th line in practice yesterday.Michael Grabner skated on the 3rd line with Kevin Hayes and Mats Zuccarello.

Henrik Lundqvist will once again get the start in net for New York after struggling in game 2 last Saturday.
