Montreal Canadiens ride a six-game win streak into Madison Square Garden against the New York Rangers, fueling trader consensus amid a tight Atlantic Division playoff race where the Habs sit two points behind Tampa Bay for second and four behind Buffalo for first with 96 points. This late-season clash carries high stakes for postseason positioning, with recent head-to-heads favoring New York in close, high-scoring wins (4-3 and 5-4 OT). Habs injuries to Patrik Laine (abdomen, IR until mid-April), Alexandre Carrier (upper body), and Kirby Dach weaken depth, while Rangers miss defenseman Urho Vaakanainen (upper body) and Matt Rempe (thumb). Igor Shesterkin likely starts for the resurgent hosts, testing Montreal's goaltending amid home-ice energy and momentum shifts.
