Steven McDonald Extra Effort Award Night at MSG
NEW YORK RANGERS (47-28-6) vs PITTSBURGH PENGUINS (50-20-11)
Madison Square Garden, NYC 7:00 PM, TV: MSG RADIO: 98.7 WEPN
The Rangers finish up the 2016-2017 regular season tonight at MSG against division rival Pittsburgh Penguins. In the 5th and final game of the season between the two teams the Rangers come in trailing the series three games to one having won the first game in Pittsburgh 5-2 back on November 21st.
Antti Raanta will get the final regular season start tonight vs the Pens. The rest of the lineup has yet to be determined.
Tonight will be a special night as the Rangers will award the player chosen by the fans who goes above and beyond the call of duty both on and off the ice. This award was established in honor of Officer Steven McDonald, who was shot in the line of duty, and it's in recognition of his spirit as a devoted Blueshirt fan. This will be the first time the award has been given out since McDonald passed away and should be an emotional night for his family, the fans and the Rangers.
