The New York Rangers have played the Penguins only once in the last 21 months. Tonight an old rivalry is renewed and if past history is any indication, it should be a barn burner. Both lineups will have different look with the Rangers making changes to get the team going and the Penguins battling injuries.
There will be several storylines worth following tonight.
Storyline #1: Sid the Kid vs. Lafrenière
This will be the first meeting between the greatest player to come out of Rimouski Oceanic in Sidney Crosby and the youngster in Alexis Lafrenière who wants to take that title away from him.
