The Pittsburgh Penguins face off against the New York Rangers in Round 1 of the 2022 NHL Playoffs.
The Penguins are coming into this game with a much-needed win vs the Blue Jackets in their last game of the NHL Regular Season. Prior to this, the Pens had lost 7 out of their last 13 games. Not exactly screaming “juggernaut team” as they enter Round 1.
The New York Rangers meanwhile, also grabbed a win in their last game against the Capitals. NYR had racked up 8 wins in their last 12 games. Yikes my peeps, they look like they are for real entering Round 1.
