The Rangers are in what amounts to a must-win situation tonight, as they look to even the series at home. Alain Vigneault has been mum and a bit coy on the situation, but the Rangers appear to be getting Chris Kreider back tonight, which will inject some more life and speed into a lineup that sorely needs it.

Justin did an entire breakdown of this series, and it’s great reading if you haven’t done so already. The Rangers will need to get some legs under them, as they appeared gassed and completely unable to keep up with the fresher Penguins in the previous two games. They finally had an off day, so that should help
