It’s a little early in the season to be thinking about payback. Yet, here we are. The New York Rangers get a crack at evening the score with the Pittsburgh Penguins when the teams meet Saturday at PPG Paints Arena.
Just four days after a season-opening 3-0 loss at home to the Penguins, the Rangers get a quick rematch, this time in the Steel City.
Each team played a game in between that one and this one. The Rangers (1-1-0) blanked the Buffalo Sabres 4-0 on the road Thursday; and at the same time, the Penguins (2-0-0) edged the Islanders 4-3 in their home opener.
