Changes might be coming for the Rangers, who will miss the playoffs, with Peter Laviolette's job very much in jeopardy. The defense has been leaking since November and GK Igor Shesterkin has given up at least four goals in four of his last six starts, going 2-3-1 over that stretch with a subpar 3.86 GAA and .861 saves. A brief uprising in January signaled that perhaps the Rangers could get back in the mix, but momentum couldn't be sustained. Meanwhile Florida has won its last three and is fighting for home-ice edge in a first-rounder vs. the Lightning. A win tonight sets up a matchup tomorrow at Tampa Bay that likely has home-ice implications for the first round. Play Panthers on Puck Line.
