Location: USA | Rangers have lost 5 straight in Pittsburgh, including the 1-0 loss earlier this year. Different dynamic and team now of course, but still some history to overcome. They haven't won a game in regulation in Pittsburgh since December 5th of 2017...so they're due right?
Really interested to see how Copp goes at Center with Panarin. Panarin has been a bit off the last couple of games, so not an ideal time to try this out, and with Hunt on the other side, it's going to be all on Panarin to create the chances, and for Copp to be in the right spots to finish them. |

| This is a test to be sure, coaches love these games. They are so telling about what you have for a group and what you have in individuals. Gonna be a great watch. |

| Crosby and Miller got something going the last couple of games, it would be nice to see Miller take the initiative with that tonight. |

Shesty with the save
I couldn't believe he got over on that...turned out he didn't, but the post with a big save.
Then Jarry down the other end stops Vatrano on the back door |
