This is contingent on the availability of Sidney Crosby because the Penguins looked like a completely different team with him out. That being said, this Rangers team is likely full steam ahead on the "team of destiny" bandwagon and not much is going to slow them down at Madison Square Garden. All they'll need is a decent night from Igor Shesterkin and a semblance of organization from the defense in front of him. Pittsburgh has gotten an upgrade in net with their No. 1 goalie back, so we should have another close game on our hands. That's why I'm taking the Penguins on the spread.
