Pittsburgh Penguins (41-20-10)
@ New York Rangers (45-20-6)
Starting Goalies:
Tristan Jarry (PIT): Confirmed
Igor Shesterkin (NYR): Unconfirmed
Current odds:
Pittsburgh Penguins: (-112)
New York Rangers: (-108)
• The Pittsburgh Penguins visit the New York Rangers on Thursday to conclude a stretch of three meetings in under two weeks between the Metropolitan Division rivals. As it stands, the second-place Rangers (45-20-6, 96 points) and third-place Penguins (41-20-10, 92 points) are in line to meet in the first round of the playoffs. With only a few weeks left in the regular season, Thursday’s game could go a long way in determining which team receives home-ice advantage in that series.
• Pittsburgh also has something to prove after dropping the two recent games against the Rangers – a 5-1 setback at Madison Square Garden on March 25 and a 3-2 loss four days later at home.
• Pittsburgh has lost five of its last seven games (2-4-1). That includes getting swept in a home-and-home series against the Colorado Avalanche, the top team in the NHL.
• The Penguins feel they’ve been playing pretty well outside of that earlier game in New York. “I think our team is competing extremely hard,” Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan said. “I love the fight in our game. “We’re down to the sprint, so every game is big. Every game is important. We’re scratching and clawing and doing our best to put our best game on the ice to try to win games.”
• New York dropped back-to-back games before bouncing back Tuesday with a 3-1 win against the New Jersey Devils. “Good teams have to make sure those losing streaks don’t stay long,” said Rangers goaltender Alexandar Georgiev, who extended his win streak to a career-long five games.
• Despite his recent success, Georgiev likely will give way to No. 1 netminder Igor Shesterkin on Thursday. Shesterkin secured the wins in the two recent games against Pittsburgh, but overall he is just 4-4-1 with a 3.11 goals-against average and .886 save percentage since March 10.
• Artemi Panarin set up a pair of goals on Tuesday to give him a career-high 65 assists on the season. He has 22 points (four goals, 18 assists) in his past 14 games.
