Players to Watch

Henrik Lundqvist (NYR)

Henrik Lundqvist had an uncharacteristically bad game in Tuesday's matchup. He doesn't have many, and when he does, he has a knack for coming up big in the following game. He is the better netminder in this series, and he will look to prove that in Game 6.

Zach Parise (NJD)

Zach Parise has been a big performer for the Devils in all areas of this series. Parise is a player who will look to have an impact in this potential series-clinching Game 6.

Prediction: Rangers, 2-1

The Rangers played their best game, sans the first period, in the series. Henrik Lundqvist is not going to let in three goals in one period again, and that is something for Ranger fans to hold onto.

King Henrik will be the difference and the reason why the Rangers will force a Game 7.

The last time the Rangers lost three games in a row was in March. Another stat to remember is that New York had to win Game 6 on the road in Ottawa before winning Game 7 at home.
