WATCH Panthers vs. Rangers Live Stream Online: NHL 2016 Top Division Rivals, Playoff Rankings

Hockey's back for the official 2015-2016 NHL season, so get ready, MstarsNews readers!

The Florida Panthers battle it out on the ice against the New York Rangers in Week 24 of the regular season on Monday, March 21 at 7:00 p.m. EST from NYC's Madison Square Garden. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the highly-anticipated Monday evening hockey game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Before heading into the official playoff season, both Florida and New York maintain rather neutral spots in Joe McDonald's official NHL power rankings for ESPN.com (out of a total 30 teams):

Rangers (12): "Henrik Lundqvist allowed four goals on 47 shots and was replaced by Antti Raanta at 9:05 of the third period during Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Sharks. New York is 4-4-2 in its last 10."

Record: 40-24-8 (3rd in Metropolitan Division).

Panthers (13): "Forward Nick Bjugstad extended his points streak to five games with three goals and three assists for six points. The Panthers play the Rangers on Monday, Bruins on Thursday and Lightning on Saturday. Maybe actor Kevin Spacey will follow the team the remainder of the season for good luck."  

Record: 40-23-9 (1st in Atlantic Division).

Tonight's big game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels MSG and FSFL.
