BOSTON (Ticker) -- The New York Rangers are getting hot at a great time.

New York goes for its fourth straight victory when it visits the slumping Boston Bruins on Saturday.

The Rangers have 83 points and are seventh in the Eastern Conference race, one point ahead of defending Stanley Cup champion Carolina (39-29-8) and three points behind Tampa Bay (41-30-4) for sixth.

New York has outscored its opponents, 14-1, during its streak and tries to build off a 5-0 rout of Philadelphia on Wednesday. Sean Avery scored twice while Henrik Lundqvist made 17 saves for his seventh career shutout.

Lundqvist has won three straight and has allowed just one goal in that span. He stopped 30 shots in a 7-0 victory over Boston on Saturday and followed up with a 21-save performance in a 2-1 victory over Pittsburgh (41-23-10) on Monday.

The Bruins were all but eliminated from the playoff chase in a 6-3 home loss to Montreal (38-31-6) on Thursday. They are nine points out with just nine contests remaining.

Boston carried a 3-2 lead into the third period but fell apart, allowing four third-period goals en route to its sixth loss in eight games. Mark Mowers scored twice but Tim Thomas allowed six goals on just 30 shots.
