The San Jose Sharks conclude their 4 game road trip with a meeting in New York at Madison Square Garden.
The Rangers started the season off 3-0 and look as if they were in store for a special season. However, they’ve dropped 3 straight to counter that hot start.

The Sharks come in off a loss to the Islanders that saw them concede 6 goals. They started this East Coast trip off with wins over Washington and New Jersey.
San Jose
The Sharks rattled off 4 straight wins to start the season, but suffered their first major set back as they dropped Saturday’s decision to the Islanders 6-3.
San Jose had allowed just 2 goals through their first 4 games of the season, but the Islanders tripled that number.

The Sharks could be without Paul Martin, who was out of Saturday’s contest with a lower body injury. Martin has tallied 1 assist thus far on the season.
They could also be without RW Ben Smith, who took a slap shot to the face against the Islanders and left the game. He remains a game time decision for Monday.
The Sharks dropped both meetings to the Rangers last season as they were outscored 7-1 combined.
New York
The Rangers look to put the breaks on a 3 game skid Monday night. In their 3 wins to open the season they racked up 12 goals, but since then they have struggled to find the back of the net.
The Rangers have scored just 2 goals in their 3 game skid and their latest outcome came in a 2-1 loss to New Jersey in overtime.

It’s expected that G Antti Raanta will make his Rangers’ debut on Monday. Starting goalie Henrik Lundqvist has been in net for all 6 of the Rangers games thus far.
The main problem for the Rangers, especially as of late has been their power play line. The Rangers failed twice on 2 power plays Sunday. On the season, they are just 1 for 16 on the power play.
Leading the way for New York Oscar Lindberg, who has 5 total points with 4 of those coming from goals.

Free NHL Hockey Prediction
The Sharks come off allowing 6 goals in their loss and the Rangers will more than likely have their back up netminder in for Monday. With the Sharks rather tired from their east coast trip, this is the perfect chance for the Rangers to find their offensive groove.
