This afternoon the New York Rangers will look to trip up the Pittsburgh Penguins’ bid to return to the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The Rangers have to feel good about themselves coming into today’s game. For the first time in a long time the team’s depth scoring came to life in Friday night’s 6-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres. Boo Nieves, Vladislav Namestnikov, Pavel Buchnevich, Jesper Fast, and Jimmy Vesey scored for the Rangers before Namestnikov added an empty-net goal to really and truly shake himself free of what was a lengthy goal-scoring drought.
