Story lines: The Rangers claimed the last meeting in overtime at Madison Square Garden. Marian Gaborik capped his hat trick with the OT winner… This will be the Bruins’ first look at the Rangers this season without Mike Rupp. New York traded the tough guy to Minnesota in a package that brought back Darroll Powe… Tonight will feature two of the worst power plays in the league. The Rangers have the second-worst PP (10 percent). The Bruins are the third-worst (10.3 percent). The Bruins are 0 for 19 at home… Justin St. Pierre and Stephen Walkom will be the referees. Mark Shewchyk and Tim Nowak will be the linesmen.
