There will be exciting action in the Eastern Conference of the NHL to look forward to on Tuesday, as the in-form New York Rangers travel to the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Rangers will be looking for an eighth straight victory, while the Penguins will be looking to bounce back from a recent defeat.
Before Betting On Rangers vs Penguins
It has been an excellent run in the NHL for the New York Rangers, as they have managed to get themselves back into a prominent position to finish in a playoff spot. The Rangers started the campaign incredibly slow, but they now boast an overall record of 18-10-5 and sit third in the Metropolitan Division. They come into this game as the in-form side in the Eastern Conference, as they have picked up victories in each of their previous seven.
New York maintained their winning sequence earlier this week, as they recorded a fine 7-1 win on the road against the Chicago Blackhawks. The Rangers scored three in the opening period, but adding two goals in each of the second and third periods. The goals were spread around for the Rangers, with seven different scorers getting in on the act. Artemi Panarin, Filip Chytil, Vincent Trocheck, and Jacob Trouba were among those with goals.
Pittsburgh Penguins will be looking to get back on track in the NHL on Tuesday, as they suffered a third defeat in ten in their previous game. However, a victory in Pittsburgh for the home side on Tuesday would lift them above the New York Rangers into third in the Metropolitan Division standings. They have certainly been difficult to beat in their previous ten, as they have lost just twice in regulation.
But, there will need to be a response from the Penguins on Tuesday, as they were beaten 3-2 on the road by the Carolina Hurricanes over the weekend. The final period was ultimately costly for the Penguins, as they conceded twice in the final frame.
