It's time to trust the Rangers. The Rangers had a poor start but have now reached .500 going 6-2-2 in their last 10 games.

The spot is ripe for the Rangers to win their fifth straight game hosting an extremely banged-up Bruins squad.

Boston is coming off an impressive 5-3 home win against the Wild on Monday. The Bruins accomplished this without Brad Marchand, David Krejci, David Backes and Noel Acciari. None of those players will be in action today.

The Rangers have picked up their scoring averaging 4.5 goals in their last six games. Bruins goalie Tukka Rask has yet to win in three road games this season.

Boston had managed two or fewer goals in four of their last five games until beating Minnesota.
