This Rangers downturn has lasted too long to be considered a blip, with just three wins in their last twelve, flailing in the trade market, Peter Laviolette looking for answers, and now Jonathan Quick making his first start in goal since being rocked by the Kraken in a 7-5 loss last Sunday. Meanwhile the Blues are on their first losing streak under Jim Montgomery, but nothing wrong with the effort in Saturday's 2-1 OT loss to the Stars. Defensive numbers across the board have improved since Montgomery took over, and worth noting that Joel Hofer (slated in the nets tonight) has won all three starts in goal, saving 71 of 77 shots, since Montgomery came aboard in late November.
