Game 7 - Pens at Rangers

The Pens return to Madison Square Garden to face the Rangers for the second time this year.  Last time, they won 6-3, back when they had a functioning powerplay.  This is the first repeat opponent for the Penguins this year.

The Pens claimed Zach Boychuk off waivers from Carolina today.  He will not play tonight.

Matt Niskanen was moved to IR today to make room for Boychuk.

Robert Bortuzzo will play tonight over Ben Lovejoy.  Thank God.

In other news, Brian Strait signed a 3 year extension with the Islanders today.  Cool asset management, bro.
