The Penguins turned around their season to finish as one of the best in the Eastern Conference, but the turnaround won’t feel whole if they get eliminated by the Rangers for the third straight postseason. Mike Sullivan has the Penguins scoring more than any team in the league, which doesn’t bode well for an inconsistent Ranger defense. But Crosby and Co. may need all the goals and then some- given they may be starting a third-string goalie Wednesday night.
Puck drop is slated for 8 p.m. ET and is being broadcast on USA Network. Locally, Pittsburgh and New York fans can catch the game on Root Sports and MSG respectively, while Canadian viewers can watch on Sportsnet. Don’t worry if you wont’ be near a TV though.
