The New York Rangers aim to improve their power-play conversion and halt a two-game skid when they host the Anaheim Ducks on Monday night. New York is looking to protect an undefeated home record, aiming for a 6-0-0 start at Madison Square Garden for the first time since the 1990-91 season, following road defeats to the New Jersey Devils and Columbus Blue Jackets.
