Madison Square Garden. 7:30. NBCSN.
Tonight the Penguins (11-4-0) ride into MSG on a 4-game win streak to take on the New York Rangers (6-8-0) for the first of four meetings this season. Pittsburgh has won 8 out of the last 9 meetings with the Rangers, outscoring them 30-15. The Pens are also 4-1 in their last 5 meetings in MSG.
Marc-Andre Fleury was named NHL's 2nd Star of the week (ending November 3rd). He now holds a 10-2 record with a .929 save percentage and will start in net tonight.
James Neal participated in this morning's skate in MSG, as did Beau Bennett and Chris Kunitz. Kunitz is a game-time decision for tonight, while Bennett could be back in the line-up as soon as this weekend. Neal is anticipated to rejoin team practice by Friday (per Dan Bylsma).
