MVP Posts: 7741 ![]() | ![]() WILD (27-27-6) at RANGERS (26-25-8) 7 p.m. ET; MSG, FS-N, FS-WI, NHL.TV
The GameThe Minnesota Wild will try to end a five-game losing streak (0-4-1) and a two-game goal drought when they play the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on Thursday. The Wild, who are 1-6-3 in 10 games since Feb. 1, haven't scored in seven consecutive periods, a span of 156 minutes. They are last in the Central Division with 60 points, but are one point behind the Colorado Avalanche for the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Western Conference. Ryan Donato will make his Wild debut after the forward was acquired in a trade from the Boston Bruins on Wednesday. Minnesota, which sent forward Charlie Coyle to Boston, also received a conditional fifth-round pick in the 2019 NHL Draft. The Rangers are coming off a 2-1 win at the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday. They are 9-6-1 since Jan. 12.
Players to watchRangers forward Pavel Buchnevich has four points (two goals, two assists) in his past four games. Kevin Shattenkirk had four assists and a plus-4 rating during the Rangers' four-game road swing. He has 17 points (4-13-17) in his 28 games vs. Minnesota. Zach Parise leads Minnesota with 23 goals and 49 points this season. The former Devil has 39 points (16-23-39) in 52 career games against the Rangers. Donato will skate on the third line with Joel Eriksson Ek and Luke Kunin. He had nine points (six goals, three assists) in 34 games with the Bruins.
They said it "The last four games, I mean three of them were right there for us that we should have won, but when you don't get 'em you dwell on the fact that they're losses. I think if we play 10 percent better than what we've been playing and get a little bit of puck luck we'll be fine." -- Wild coach Bruce Boudreau "We've just got to continue to build on the way we've played I think the last five weeks. I think we've played some pretty good hockey over the last five weeks." -- Rangers coach David Quinn
Wild projected lineupJason Zucker -- Eric Staal -- Jordan Greenway Zach Parise -- Mikael Granlund -- Pontus Aberg Ryan Donato -- Joel Eriksson Ek -- Luke Kunin Matt Hendricks -- Eric Fehr -- Marcus Foligno Scratched: Nick Seeler, J.T. Brown Injured: Victor Rask (lower body), Matt Hendricks (upper body), Matt Dumba (ruptured right pectoralis muscle), Mikko Koivu (ACL and meniscus tear)
Rangers projected lineupChris Kreider -- Mika Zibanejad -- Mats Zuccarello Jimmy Vesey -- Kevin Hayes -- Pavel Buchnevich Vladislav Namestnikov -- Ryan Strome -- Jesper Fast Brendan Smith -- Kevin Shattenkirk Scratched: Fredrik Claesson, Connor Brickley, Lias Andersson Injured: Brett Howden (MCL sprain)
Status reportBrown was recalled from Iowa of the American Hockey League. … Andersson was recalled from Hartford of the AHL. … Quinn said he wasn't sure if he would play six defensemen and 12 forwards or seven defensemen and 11 forwards. He said Pionk will play after missing the game against Carolina with an eye injury. … Howden participated in the morning skate wearing a red non-contact jersey. It was his first time skating with the Rangers since injuring his knee Jan. 29.
Stat packKreider, Zibanejad and Zuccarello have combined for 57 points (25 goals, 32 assists) in the past 15 games with all three in the lineup. The Rangers and Wild are meeting for the first time this season. After Thursday night, the Blueshirts will have faced all 30 NHL opponents at least once. Connor Brickley's second-period goal on Tuesday in Raleigh was his first as a Blueshirt and made him the 25th player to score for the Rangers this season. The Rangers are 3-1-1 at the Garden against Central Division opponents this season, with the only regulation loss coming on Opening Night against Nashville. The Wild have been shut out in each of their last two games and have not scored a goal in their last 177:12 of game time. Minnesota leads the NHL in goals scored by defensemen (38), and percentage of team goals scored by defensemen (23.3%). Matt Dumba is sixth in the league among blueliners with 12 goals despite not having played since Dec. 15 due to a ruptured pec muscle (missed 28 games).
