This time, the Rangers will look to come out on top and redeem themselves after losing to the Los Angeles Kings. The Sharks are also coming off a loss and will want to get their strong season moving back in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p>The Blueshirts will roll out the same lines as they did against the Kings except Jonny Brodzinski is coming out of the lineup and Anton Blidh is in. Newly acquired Shark Kiefer Sherwood is not expected to make his debut with his new team tonight. Spencer Martin will get the start in net for the Rangers.<\/p>\n<p>Where to Watch<\/p>\n<p>Cable\/Network TV: MSG 2, NHL website, NHL app, and the Gotham Sports app<\/p>\n<p>National Broadcast: ESPN+<\/p>\n<p>Radio: 880 AM<\/p>\n<p>                    Sign up for Blueshirt Banter<\/p>\n<p class=\"kg-signup-card-subheading\" style=\"color: #000000;\">The top destination for New York Rangers fans\u2014news, trade rumors, stats, podcasts, and in-depth analysis from the trusted Blueshirt Banter team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"kg-signup-card-disclaimer\" style=\"color: #000000;\">No spam.

Morrow has six assists for the Rangers this season but is still looking for his first goal.<\/p>\n<p>There is still plenty of room to grow, but Morrow has the talent to become part of the long-term solution.
