The Pittsburgh Penguins face the New York Rangers for the third time in six days with both teams fighting for playoff position. The Penguins have a 34-24-10 record and hold the top wild card spot in the Eastern Conference but have lost back-to-back games. The Rangers have a 39-19-10 record and with back-to-back wins have the third-best record in the Metropolitan Division. Both teams are looking to improve in the Eastern Conference and secure playoff spots and the upcoming game looks to be a great one as a result.

The Penguins are having a great season with their offense carrying them, scoring 3.26 goals per game. Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Jake Guentzel have scored 83 goals and 134 assists to lead the top two lines but the rest of the offense has also stepped up. Rickard Rakell, Jason Zucker, and Bryan Rust have combined for 63 goals and 66 assists while defenseman Kris Letang has added 10 goals and 24 assists from the point to help open up the offense.

The offense has been great but the defense has struggled, allowing 3.22 goals per game with 10 goals in the last two games. Marcus Pettersson and Brian Dumoulin have combined for 5.8 defensive point shares but the rest of the unit has struggled, allowing opponents to find open shots on the net with ease. The bright spot has been the play of goaltender Tristan Jarry who has a .910 save percentage and a 2.96 goals-against average on 1139 shots with 5.5 goals saved above average.
