Rangers Vs. Penguins Game 7 Preview: It All Comes Down To This
The New York Rangers will take on the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight in Game 7 of the Metropolitan Division Finals at CONSOL Energy Center.
It all comes down this. The New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins will faceoff in a winner-take-all game seven tonight at the CONSOL Energy Center. The Rangers have put up two huge performances in games five and six to pull back even in the series, and force tonight's game. The team has completely rallied around Martin St. Louis and it should be no surprise when they do it again tonight.
It surely isn't going to be a walk in the park, especially with the Penguins potentially feeding off of their home crowd, which is expected to be very loud. While history definitely favors the Rangers in game seven's, each game should should be treated differently. The Penguins are going coming to come out flying tonight, and if the Rangers can keep up the pressure like they have the last two games, they'll be in a pretty great spot.
All of the information for tonight's game can be found in the table down below.
