Tonight the New York Rangers (40-27-11) host the Pittsburgh Penguins (46-26-7) at MSG in the second game of their home-and-home. For a full preview go to Yahoo! Sports.
- According to Sam Weinman at The Rangers Report same lineup as yesterday.
- The Rangers have scored just 18 goals in the last 10 games.
- Henrik Lundqvist has been in goal for all seven games against Pittsburgh this season, going 4-3-0 with a 2.00 GAA.
- The Rangers have won all three games against the Penguins at Madison Square Garden, outscoring them 13-4.
- Expect Marc-Andre Fluery back in net for the Penguins.
...in my opinion (and I'm positive the opinion of many others), tonight is a must win. I'm not sure we can pull out four points in the final three games. Especially with two against the Islanders, who will pull out all the stops, and the finale against the Devils, who will be looking to save face by trying to win at least one game against us this year.
...I know the officiating was horrid last night but we have to be extra cautious tonight. We can't afford to spend another night killing penalties.
...unfortunately, Renney has decided not to re-unite the lines that work, so hopefully these new line combinations can find some chemistry tonight.
...the power play has actually cashed in these last two games. Let's hope it can continue tonight.
...I'll be there tonight, which probably isn't good thing since I'm 0-1-1 in the last two games I've been at despite the Rangers going 7-1-2 in their last 10 games at home, which includes the last regulation loss at home on February 7th against Anaheim.

I am going to New York in a couple of months and would really like to see an ice hockey game. I reckon it would be amazing to see up close.
