Will Being at Home Help the Rangers?

The New York Rangers return to Madison Square Garden Monday night for a tilt against the Montreal Canadiens. They have been on the road since MSG was in renovation for the first part of the season. Now, the Rangers come on home and they definitely need it.

Also, Henrik Lundqvist will be back between the pipes after he was out two games because of an injury. So the Rangers took advantage and gave him time off to heal.

But being at home must help the New York Rangers. They've had a somewhat dismal start to the season. They need to come home and start putting some pressure on teams. Plus, Henrik Lundqvist needs to get better. He hasn't had a great start to the season either and the reason the Rangers lost some of these games, like San Jose or Anaheim, was because he wasn't able to stop the puck, or Tomas Hertl for that matter. I don't know how the Rangers will do in the next couple of weeks, but they have to get their bearings in order and start playing some home ice hockey. The way they are and being second-to-last in the Metropolitan, they need to play some catch-up.
