Key Storylines
Recent Form
The Rangers have been impressive on the road so far, logging a 9–1–1 mark away from Madison Square Garden. Their structure and defensive discipline have limited opponents and helped them to close out games under pressure. Vegas is struggling at home, going 4-3-3 at T-Mobile Arena. The Knights will try to turn things around here, but will need to find a way to breach the defense of the Rangers to win this game in front of their home crowd.
Goaltending
The goaltending match-up favors New York more than it may appear. While the Golden Knights generally rely on strong play from Akira Schmid, Igor Shesterkin of the Rangers has been excellent this season. Shesterkin has a 2.39 GAA and a .912 save percentage. He will try to shut down the high-octane offense of the Knights to get the Rangers a 10th road win on the season.
Key Skaters
Artemi Panarin has been one of the key factors for the Rangers offensively. He has already tallied 5 goals and 13 assists through New York’s first 20 games of the season. His shot metrics and playmaking ability give the Rangers a consistent offensive threat. Vegas’ Jack Eichel continues to stand out early in the year. He has 24 points on the season and his 16 assists have helped the Vegas attack get several other players involved.

Final Thoughts
Vegas should be able to get a win on home ice on Tuesday night. The Rangers’ road record has been phenomenal, but the Rangers’ offense has struggled for the most part this year. They should struggle to keep up with the attack of the Knights in this game, even if Shesterkin has another stellar game between the pipes for the blueshirts.
