Finally back in the city of Pittsburgh! The Penguins have concluded their long five game road trip with a 4-1 record. The only team the Penguins were defeated by were the New York Rangers, who they will face tonight at Consol Energy Center.
The Penguins will have to play a completely different game tonight then the last time the Penguins faced the Rangers. The Rangers killed the Penguins at Madison Square Garden, but I think tonight's game will be a different story. The game against the Maple Leafs last night was a great game for the Penguins. They showed they are both a great offensive and defensive team.
On the individual front, the Penguins are 7-0 when Sidney Crosby records multiple points. Pascal Dupuis recorded his first multi-goal game, this season, last night against the Maple Leafs. It was his 14th career multi-goal game. Lastly, Marc-Andre Fleury has 26 career wins against the Rangers, which is his highest against any other team.
The Penguins have to play a smart and tough brand of hockey against the Rangers! They need to screen Lundqvist and make sure to put shots on net! Lets Go Pens!
