We’re all knotted at one and things are going to get fun on the Garden ice tonight.
The New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins have both notched impressive victories in the opening two games of this year’s playoff series, but they’ve also notched less-than-ideal losses as well.
Now, someone has to seize control.
Pittsburgh’s starting goalie will once again remain unknown until just before the start of the game with both Marc-Andre Fleury (concussion) and Matt Murray (upper body) each practicing and listed as day-to-day. It’s very likely that Jeff Zatkoff could make a third straight start.
Meanwhile, on the Rangers side of things, defeseman and captain Ryan McDonagh (hand) was a full participant in practice on Monday and, despite earlier reports, appears almost ready to return to the lineup. His on-ice presence would be a big-time boost for the Blueshirts, who could use a little bit of leadership.
Puck drop for the rivalry matchup is slated for 7 p.m. ET and is being nationally broadcast on USA. Don’t worry if you wont’ be near a TV though. We’ve got ways to stream the game online and on mobile:
