The Penguins have had a few days off, but they are ready to take on the Rangers at Madison Square Garden. It will be a great battle of the goalies with Marc-Andre Fleury on one end and Henrik Lundqvist at the other. The Penguins are on a roll with Sidney Crosby leading the way even with key individuals on the injury list. Good news it James Neal practiced with the team this morning. Hopefully Malkin can break out of this scoring slump, once that happens Malkin will be scoring left and right. This game should be competitive and interesting game. I don't think either team will blow each other out, but I have been wrong and the game of hockey can surprise you. Lets Go Pens!
The Pens lineup is as follows:
Forwards
Duper, Sid, Kuni
Jokinen, Geno, Megna
Glass, Sutter, Adams
Jeffrey, Vitale, Engo
Defense
Orpik, Martin
Niskanen, Tanger
Maatta, Bortuzzo
Flower in the cage!
