Hotels for New York Rangers vs. St. Louis Blues

An NHL regular-season matchup between two Original Six-era rivals, with the Blues making their only trip east this season to face the Rangers. Tuesday night crowds tend to fill in after work, so expect a steady build rather than a sudden rush at the doors. Hockey in early November still has the feel of the long haul ahead, with both sides testing lines and systems rather than playing for the standings just yet. Expect a physical, close-checking game between two teams that know each other well.

The world's most famous arena, Madison Square Garden sits atop Penn Station in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, home to the Knicks and Rangers and a legendary stage for the biggest concerts. Times Square, Broadway and countless restaurants are all within a short walk, making it one of the most central venues anywhere.

Penn Station's subway and rail lines are directly below. Booking a room in Midtown lets you walk to the show through the city's buzz and back to your bed within minutes.
