It is a second consecutive victory for the Rangers without a single goal conceded. The game saw the Rangers dominating from the start. The star was K'Andre Miller, who assisted in the first and third and scored the fourth and sixth goals for the team.

The Rangers destroyed the morale of the Predators with a goal in the second period of the game. The Predators did try hard to score quick goals to come back into the game, but goaltender Jaroslav Halak saved every shot. The third period saw no goal, but the rout of the first period was enough for the Rangers to win the game.

The New York Rangers are third in the Metropolitan Division with 90 points and are battling for the division title. There is a six-point gap between them and the top spot.

They have scored 17 goals in their last three games. Adding to the comfort, their defense has conceded just two goals in their previous three outings. The Rangers are in great shape and look settled for the upcoming challenges.
