Pittsburgh has traded wins and losses in its last six games and just lost star Evgeni Malkin the last game for six to eight weeks. Malkin has 27 goals and 31 assists in 57 games, a huge blow. This is the end of a four-game road trip for the Penguins, and they face a New York team ranked #7 in goals scored and #13 in goals allowed. The Rangers are getting healthy with ace goalie Henrik Lundqvist and star Rick Nash back. Nash returned Saturday from a 20-game absence. The Rangers are 23-7-3 at home and are 57-27 playing on no days rest. Coach Alain Vigneault confirmed Lundqvist will start again Sunday as the Rangers look to break a tie with Florida for the East's #3 seed. New York is on a 49-24 run at home, and the Penguins are 1-5 in the last six meetings in New York. Play the New York Rangers.
