Possibly the holiday break will give the Rangers a chance to press the reset button. Laviolette says “it could go either way” on that. The schedule facing them on the other side is far from welcoming — road games at Tampa Bay on Saturday and Florida on Monday, a Jan. 2 home game vs. Boston and a Jan. 4 matinee in Washington.
BOTTOM LINE: The New York Rangers look to end their three-game home slide with a win against the Carolina Hurricanes. New York is 16-15-1 overall with a 3-4-0 record in Metropolitan Division play. The Rangers are 4-2-0 in games their opponents commit more penalties.
