Pittsburgh stole a win on the road in Game 3, so this is a bigger game for the home team. The Penguins have been down to their third-string goalie, with Marc-Andre Fleury sidelined since March 31 with a concussion. Fleury practiced Monday before being ruled out, and his status going forward is questionable. Rookie goalie Matt Murray is also injured, so they've gone to third-string Jeff Zatkoff in net. They face a New York Rangers team that is 27-11-4 at home and strong on offense, seventh in the NHL in goals scored behind Rick Nash, who scored a short-handed goal the last game. New York has a force in net in veteran goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, who helped knock the Penguins out of the last two postseasons and has a 1.52 GAA in his last 11 playoff games against Pittsburgh. The Rangers are 18-7 when playing on one day of rest, plus 49-24 after scoring two goals or less in their previous game. With the home team a dog, the wagering value is for the talented home team to win the game or lose by one goal. Play the NY Rangers on the puckline.
