The Montreal Canadiens will take on a New York Rangers side that is struggling at home this season, but Martin St-Louis' men have not had a lot of success against them lately.

The New York Rangers expressed satisfaction with their performance when they took the Colorado Avalanche and Vegas Golden Knights in overtime on a home back-to-back set last week, but the follow-up was highly disappointing.

Jacob Fowler made 33 saves in his NHL debut and the Montreal Canadiens beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-2 on Thursday night.
