It seems like the Rangers (8-2-2) have been playing at Madison Square Garden for the entire season, but they are back on the road again tonight as they take on the struggling Colorado Avalanche (4-8-1) at the Pepsi Center.

New York has played six of their last seven games, and eight of the first 12 games this season, on home ice, where they’ve posted an impressive 6-1-1 record. They’re 2-1-1 away from home, winning the first two road games of the season in Chicago and Columbus, but losing to 3-0 to Montreal and 3-2 in a shootout to Philadelphia after that.

The Rangers have been historically good on the road underneath Alain Vigneault, setting a franchise record with 28 wins last season after posting a 25-14-2 record as the visitors in the 2013-14 season. On top of that, the Avalanche are just 2-4-1 on home ice this season. Read the rest of this entry →
