This is a tough situational spot for the home team as Pittsburgh played last night in a grinding 2-1 win at Toronto. They are home from a five-game road trip. The Penguins are 2-5 against the Metropolitan Division and the defending Eastern champs are in town. The New York Rangers have a solid goaltender and an improved offense this season at #8 in goals scored. New York is rested and the Rangers are 6-2 in divisional play, plus 5-2 playing on one day of rest. The Pittsburgh Penguins' only loss in nine games came against the New York Rangers, and it wasn't pretty - a 5-0 blanking this week. Marc-Andre Fleury is expected to start opposite Henrik Lundqvist again, and he has a 3.61 GAA while losing the last four matchups. The Rangers are 4-0 in the last four meetings, including 4-1 in the last five in Pittsburgh. Take the road dog Rangers.
