- Sidney Crosby has a goal and five assists and Evgeni Malkin has four goals this season against the Rangers.
- Henrik Lundqvist is 7-3-2 with a 1.88 GAA in his last 12 against the Penguins.

- The Rangers have won four of six meetings this season.
...how can a team be on a 13-2-5 run and still be fighting for their playoff lives? Doesn't anyone lose? Tonight Philly, Boston and the Capitals all won. How about a little help from the hockey gods? While we do have two games in hand on the Capitals we're only three points from being out of the playoffs. On the other hand we're also only three points out of the fourth spot.
...at least we're playing well. One team that's got to be real worried is the Senators. They're playing some real bad hockey.
...these next two games against the Penguins should be a war. There can be no holding back at this point anything but maximum effort isn't going to get it done. If we go out and have two clunkers we could be in real trouble.
...the Rangers must take advantage of the Penguins one glaring weakness: their goaltending. We need to get pucks and players to the net as much as possible. We do that and we should be fine.
...I won't have time for pre-game notes, so check out The Rangers Report before the game for all the latest news.
