Gameday. Game 3. Pens at Rangers

Madison Square Garden. 7:30 pm. NBCSN.

Series Tied 1-1.

24 hours later, they meet again. The Penguins put together their best performance of the season last night against a somewhat worn out Rangers team. Game 3 is always a pivotal game in a 7 game series and this is no different. Tonight is the Rangers 5th playoff game in a span of 7 days. Dan Bylsma said today that fatigue won't be a factor unless the Penguins make it one with a heavy forecheck so look for more of the same from last night from the Penguins. The Rangers typically play well at home but the Penguins have won more games at MSG than any other NHL arena (besides home).

Notes:

• Marc-Andre Fleury won his 50th playoff game last night and his 7th career playoff shutout. He is 9 wins off of Tom Barrasso for #1 on the Penguins all time playoff list.
• Sidney Crosby played his best game in the playoffs last night. If he keeps playing like that, he's gonna score and more importantly, the Penguins are gonna win more than they're not.

Do It.

Go Pens.
