The Rangers are in the midst of an accelerated rebuild that included going to the Eastern Conference Finals last season. They have scoring threats in both their forward group and on the blue line and, while goaltending has taken a dip compared to last year, it's still very good.
For Seattle, the task is to not falter from the skill and effort that has earned them a strong start to the season while keeping up their mental focus. It's going to take a complete effort to break through the Rangers' offense and defense while limiting special teams' play against a top-ten power play in the league.
