Columbus vs New York: Blue Jackets and Rangers NHL Metropolitan Division Call
New York Rangers: Aiming to defend Presidents Cup title
Metropolitan Division Champions two of the past four years, New York is once again a top favorite in the Eastern Conference. The Rangers won the Presidents Cup trophy as they posted a NHL best 53-22-7 record last season but lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning by a 4-3 count in a thrilling Eastern Conference Final playoff series. New York opened their 2015-16 campaign with a 3-2 win over the defending Stanley Cup Champion Blackshawks on Wednesday night. New York posted a 3-1 first period lead and then goaltender Henrik Lundqvist stopped 21 of 22 shots over the final two frames as the Rangers played a near perfect road game in Chicago. New York is a stacked NHL squad.
Columbus Blue Jackets: Look to return to the NHL playoffs following a difficult season
Following just the second playoff appearance in their 15-year history, during the 2013-14 NHL season, Columbus took a step backwards last year as they finished with a 42-35-5 record and fifth overall in the Metropolitan Division.

Columbus would go on to lose the next three games in their season series against New York – all by one goal and a 10-7 margin. While injuries were a big part of the Blue Jackets slump last season - they are still a ways away from being an elite NHL Stanley Cup contender. Columbus is in tough in this contest tonight.
