NEW YORK RANGERS (13-6-0) PITTSBURGH PENGUINS (11-4-3)
PPG Paints Arena, Pittsburgh, PA 7:00 PM TV: MSG RADIO: WEPN 98.7 FM
The Rangers look to get back on track tonight in Pittsburgh after losing two straight games for the first time this season.
They will be facing the Penguins without center Mika Zibanejad who fell awkwardly into the boards last night and will be out of action with a broken fibula for 6-8 weeks.
Tonight will be the first of back to back games against the Pens with Wednesday Night at Madison Square Garden being the next.
Look for Antti Raanta to start the game tonight after Henrik Lundqvist played his second game in 3 nights last night in the 3-2 loss to Florida.
No recall of players have been made yet today to fill in for the injured Zibanejad but the most likely recall will be rookie Cristivol "Boo" Nieves who was up for one game last week before being returned to AHL Hartford Wolf Pack.
Puck Drop tonight 7:00 PM.
