Who: Pittsburgh Penguins (41-24-11; 93 points, 3rd place in Metropolitan division) @ New York Rangers (29-32-13; 71 points, 7th place in Metropolitan division)
When: 7:00 p.m. Eastern
How to Watch: AT&T Sportsnet in the Pittsburgh viewing area, MSG, ESPN+
Opponent Track: The Rangers were 0-4-1 until Saturday night, where surprisingly enough they won 2-1 in OT against playoff-bound Toronto. Shots in that game were 45-28 TOR, for what it’s worth, yet it was NYR who skated out with the win.
Pens Refresh: Perhaps another surprise, given no Malkin, is that the four game road trip that concludes tonight for Pittsburgh has already been a success at 2-0-1, including a 3-2 win on Saturday night in Dallas.
