(SportsNetwork.com) - The New York Rangers will try to complete a four-game road trip with a perfect record when they visit the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday for the opener of a home-and-home series. The Rangers have won four straight overall and are 3-0 at the start of their road trip, which began in Western Canada before taking New York to PNC Arena for tonights finale. The Blueshirts, who will host Carolina on Sunday, have completely dominated the Hurricanes in recent years, taking 12 of the past 13 meetings in this series. Carolina was able to halt a six-game home skid against the Rangers when it notched a 3-1 victory on March 11 of last season. However, New York has claimed two straight meetings at Madison Square Garden since then, including a 2-1 shootout victory on Oct. 16. The reigning Eastern Conference champions entered their current swing with a 2-5-1 road record before picking up wins in Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary. New York outscored the opposition by a combined 12-3 score in those three outings. The Rangers last played on Tuesday when they recorded a 5-2 win over the Flames. Rick Nash scored twice and Derek Stepan chipped in a goal with one assist to help New York sprint to victory. Chris Kreider and Carl Hagelin also lit the lamp for the Rangers, while Henrik Lundqvist turned in a victorious 29-save effort. Nash leads the Rangers in both goals (20) and points (33) this season and enters Saturday riding an 11-game point streak. The winger has amassed eight goals and six helpers during the NHLs longest current point streak. His second goal on Tuesday allowed the 30-year-old Nash to reach the 20-goal mark for the 11th consecutive season. Hes playing so well on both sides of the puck, Kreider said of Nash. Hes not cheating, and thats what makes his scoring so impressive. Lundqvist boasts an 18-9-1 record and 2.15 goals against average and he will get the start tonight. Backup Cam Talbot, who signed a one-year, $1.45 million extension on Friday, could get the call in the home-and-home finale at MSG. New York is one of several NHL teams dealing with an outbreak of the mumps. Derick Brassard has missed the last two games with the illness, though he could return to action tonight, while fellow forward Lee Stempniak was isolated from the team while being tested for mumps, leaving his status for this game in doubt. Carolina, meanwhile, couldnt blame the mumps for the teams recent 0-6 slide, but the club finally was able to get back in the win column thanks to Thursdays 4-1 victory over the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs. The four goals represented an offensive explosion for the club after it had posted just one goal in each loss during the six-game slide. The Hurricanes began December with a 2-1 home win over Nashville before dropping six straight regulation decisions. Carolina got back on track Thursday by winning the special teams battle to halt Torontos six-game winning streak. Carolina jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period on goals from Chris Terry and Justin Faulk, who scored while the Hurricanes were short-handed. Andrej Sekeras power-play tally in the third period restored the two-goal lead and Cam Ward finished with 25 saves for the win. Its been a while, said Ward. The guys played great. We got off to a good start. To be able to score the first two goals was a relief. The victory pushed Carolinas home record to 6-7-1. The Hurricanes are just 3-12-2 as the guest and will begin a three-game road trip Sunday in New York. Its unclear if Ward or Anton Khudobin will start the opener of the home-and- home. Ward is 10-12-3 with a 2.46 GAA in his career against the Rangers, while Khudobin is 0-1-1 with a 1.93 GAA in this matchup. Yeezy Boost Uk Website .
