After a tough loss in Dallas, the Rangers road trip continues in Pittsburgh. The Penguins are another team expected to be in the playoffs this year. The Penguins are red hot right now after a slow start to the season, winning six of their last eight including a five game win streak. They may not be the Penguins of old, but they are still a formidable opponent.
The Blueshirts are fresh off their four game win streak coming to an end in Dallas, and hopefully the Penguins are a good matchup to get back to their winning ways. The Penguins are good, but they are not a deep team and they struggle on defense and in net. These are the types of teams the Rangers usually feast on.
