Game 76- New York Rangers @ Penguins

With sixth (and potentially fifth) place on the line, the New York Rangers will make their third and final visit to the Mellon Arena on Sunday afternoon at 1:00. The Rangers, who sit one point behind the Penguins with an equal amount of games played, are coming off a home loss on Wednesday in a shootout to the Atlanta Thrashers. The Pens beat the Calgary Flames 2-0 that same evening in Pittsburgh.

Sean Avery, Nik Zherdev, Nik Antropov, and Scott Gomez have spearheaded the offensive operations of late for New York, while recently acquired defender Derek Morris has solidified the blueline. Henrik Lundqvist is, of course, never an easy goalie to score on.

The Pens will look to continue the same play they've exhibited throughout their lengthy eight game homestand that will end next week against the New Jersey Devils.
