"The Rangers laid another egg in Calgary the other night, and now travel to Vancouver for what might be a double revenge game in the JT Miller / Elias Pettersson saga. Pettersson was curt with media today when asked about Miller, which is fair. Miller had more words but equal value, stating he learned a lot but the Rangers have work to do. Both seem to be focused on business, but there might be a little pep in their steps, so to speak."
"More importantly, the Rangers really need a win. Process be damned, they just need the two points if only for team confidence at this point. The way they've been playing, Quick might need to steal it, but honestly a win is a win if they get it. It's going to be a long few months while they figure things out."

The Rangers lost again in Calgary and now face Vancouver in a potentially charged matchup involving JT Miller and Elias Pettersson. Pettersson was curt with media about Miller, while Miller said he learned a lot and acknowledged the team still has work to do. Both players appear focused on business but with some added edge. The Rangers urgently need two points to restore confidence; their recent play suggests goaltending may need to bail them out. Lineups and defensive pairings are set for both teams, with Jonathan starting for the Rangers and Thatcher Demko starting for the Canucks.
