The contest features two of the NHL's top five franchises, with the hometown Rangers finishing second in the league and the visiting Jets holding onto fifth place. The New York Rangers are currently one point behind the league leader Boston Bruins, while the Jets are trailing the Boston Bruins by four points.
New York has been very good lately, winning 5-1 in their last six games and shutting out two of them, St. Louis and Carolina. Igor Shesterkin (2.59 GAA/.912%).The coaching staff also has viable backup options as well as ageless players Jonathan Quick (2.46 GAA/.916%), but they will probably use a starter to compete with Vezina for tonight's game.

The Russian sniper has already set a season record with 38 goals in 2023-24, making it the fourth time in his nine-year career that he has reached 30 goals. The rest of the New York Rangers' leading scorers are:
The second-placed team in the league has had an excellent performance in friendly matches at the Garden, with a record of 24 wins, 8 losses, and 0 draws (Only two other NHL teams have lost fewer games at home this year.). So Winnipeg will certainly be tested tonight by a New York team that has scored 19 more goals than the Jets and allowed 27 more goals to their opponents.With Blake Wheeler currently on the shelf due to injury, fans will likely only see two former Winnipeg Jets defensemen in action tonight. Jacob Trouba and forward jack roslovic.

Gabriel Bilardi Available for Tuesday's game. Winnipeg had several players sitting in the press box (Dylan Samberg, Cole Perfetti, Rasmus Kupari, Colin Miller), but today's morning skate has not yet taken place, so we don't know if there will be any changes to tonight's lineup.
Here are the statistical pairings for New York and Winnipeg this season:
Well, the Jets have taken on some of the worst teams in the NHL, and now they will take on one of the league's elite franchises. Hopefully the goal-scoring confidence carries over, but Winnipeg needs to be really conscious of their defensive responsibilities if they want to win in Manhattan.
That's all I got because I have to get my official duties done and get ready to watch the Manitoba Moose vs. Grand Rapids Griffins game at 10:30 a.m.
