Montreal Canadiens hold a strong position in the Atlantic Division with a 40-21-10 record and 90 points, riding 7-3-0 form over their last 10 games into this April 2 matchup at Madison Square Garden against a slumping New York Rangers squad (29-35-9, 67 points, eliminated from playoff contention). Canadiens face Kirby Dach out until mid-April with an upper-body injury, but Patrik Laine could return post-abdomen IR stint ending March 31, boosting their attack. Rangers grapple with goaltender Jonathan Quick day-to-day (upper body), season-ending thumb for Matt Rempe, and defenseman Urho Vaakanainen sidelined until April 11, compounding recent losses like defeats to LA Kings and Devils. Home-ice and rivalry intensity offer Rangers upset potential amid Montreal's momentum.
