Rangers lineup tonight: New York’s projected lineup for game against the Minnesota Wild | March 13 2025

The New York Rangers will look to snap a four-game skid when they collide with the Minnesota Wild on Thursday. Since posting a 4-2 record after the NHL season resumed following the 4 Nations Face-Off hiatus, the Rangers have lost four straight, falling to the Capitals, Senators, Blue Jackets and most recently, the Jets.

In the case of the Wild, the team is heading into tonight's game after a 2-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche this week, which snapped a two-game losing streak.

Currently, New York is sitting in fifth place in the Metropolitan Division with a record of 31-28-6, two points behind the fourth-place Blue Jackets. Despite that, just two points separate the team from a wild-card berth.

On the flip side, Minnesota is sitting comfortably in position to clinch a wild-card spot out West while sitting in fourth place in the Central Division, three points behind the third-place Avalanche.
