New York Rangers (31-26-2) versus Columbus Blue Jackets (30-24-8) is an exciting NHL clash in the Metropolitan Division on Sunday night. Nearly all the teams in the division are still in the playoff race, making this a high-stakes game. The Rangers are fifth in the standings with 67 points, just a point behind the Blue Jackets and only 5 points behind the third-placed Devils. They are also only 4 points ahead of the Islanders and 5 ahead of the Flyers. The Rangers saw their two-game winning streak end Wednesday night after losing 3-2 to the Capitals in OT. Peter Laviolette’s men will be hoping for an immediate response to this setback when they host the stuttering Blue Jackets. The visitors are on a two-game slide after giving up their latest assignments against the Panthers and the Lightning on the road. Dean Evason will be keen to see his team get back to scoring ways after firing blanks against the Panthers on Thursday night.
