Pittsburgh has won both meetings this season between the two teams. New York has a big advantage on defense and goaltending. New York ranks ninth in goals against and seventh in shots against per game. The same can't be said for the Penguins. They rank 17th in goals against and 27th in shots against per game. The Rangers put up 3.25 goals per game, while the Penguin's defense allows 3.21 goals. The Rangers are allowing 2.79 goals a game. Pittsburgh will struggle to find the back of the net against the Rangers and I am taking the Rangers to win on home ice.
