The Rangers and Penguins are back at it tonight for Game Four of their series. The Rangers took a 2-1 series lead with a 2-1 win on Monday night, and will hopefully take a commanding lead in the series tonight. The Pens still have to go without Kris Letang, Olli Maata, Derick Pouliot, Christian Ehrhoff, and Pascal Dupuis, all give have been out the entire series. Beau Bennett is still out, after missing Game Three. The Rangers are without Kevin Klein tonight, the only injury the Blueshirts are facing at the moment, and he is close to a return.

Justin did a full goalie preview of Marc-Andre Fleury, as the Rangers will look to exploit his playoff shortcomings. I wrote a comprehensive series preview, and you should definitely check out both if you haven’t yet already.
