It’s another game night at Madison Square Garden, as the Rangers will host the Pittsburgh Penguins in front of a national audience on NBCSN. These teams last met in game 82 of the 2018-19 regular season, a game that saw the Rangers earn two (what appeared to be) meaningless points in a 4-3 overtime victory. Those two points ensured the Rangers a 26th place finish in the league standings, which resulted in them earning the 2nd overall selection in that June’s entry draft.
After Sunday’s shootout against the Florida Panthers, Alexandar Georgiev will take over for Henrik Lundqvist in net.
