FABULOUS FEBRUARY The Rangers posted an 11-4-0 record in February last season and tied for the NHL lead in wins during the month. In addition, the 11 wins in February last season were the most the Blueshirts earned in the month in any season in franchise history. The Rangers are scheduled to play 13 games in February this season, eight of which are at MSG.
SHOOTING GALLERY The Blueshirts have outshot their opponent in six of the last seven games. New York ranks third in the NHL in shots on goal per game in 2020-21 (33.6) and has recorded 30 or more shots on goal in six of the last seven games. In addition, the Rangers have only allowed 27.3 shots on goal against per game thus far this season, which is tied for the seventh-fewest in the NHL (tied with Pittsburgh). The Blueshirts have held their opponent to 28 shots on goal or fewer in six of the last seven games. The Rangers have also held their opponent to 10 shots or goal or fewer in 18 of the last 21 regulation periods, dating back to the start of their second game of the season on Jan. 16 vs. NY Islanders.
CLOSE CALL Each of the Rangers’ last six games, and six of the team’s eight games this season, have been decided by one goal. The Blueshirts have played at least six consecutive games which were decided by one goal for the first time since a seven-game stretch from Jan. 17, 2019 vs. Chicago to Feb. 6, 2019 vs. Boston.

DRAW IT UP The Rangers have drawn 38 penalties and have taken 30 penalties this season. New York's plus-eight net penalty differential is tied for the fifth-best in the NHL in 2020-21.
FIRST THINGS FIRST Alexis Lafrenière tallied his first career NHL goal/point, which was the game-winning goal in overtime, on Jan. 28 at Buffalo. He became the first Ranger to tally his first career NHL goal in overtime since Mats Zuccarello on Jan. 5, 2011, and according to NHL Stats and Information, he also became only the fourth player in franchise history to register his first career NHL goal in overtime (Zuccarello, Sergei Nemchinov on Oct. 5, 1991, and Paul Thompson on Nov. 30, 1926).
WHAT THE FOX SAYS Adam Fox has logged at least 24:52 of ice time in five of the last six games, and he has led the Rangers in ice time in each of those five contests. Since Dec. 31, 2019, Fox has recorded 30 points (four goals, 26 assists) and a plus-19 rating in 40 games; his plus-19 rating is the second-best among NHL defensemen, and his 26 assists and 30 points are each tied for the fourth-most among NHL defensemen over the span.
KEY TO SUCCESS K'Andre Miller posted the first multi-assist/point game of his NHL career by registering two assists on Jan. 30 vs. Pittsburgh. He has been on the ice for 10 of the Rangers’ 16 even strength goals this season; he has been on the ice for more even strength goals the Rangers have scored than any other player in 2020-21. Miller leads NHL rookies in plus/minus rating this season (plus-seven), and he is also one of only two NHL rookies who have been on the ice for at least 10 of his team's goals at even strength in 2020-21 (Kirill Kaprizov). He has led the Rangers in even strength ice time in each of the last two games, and he ranks second on the team in average even strength ice time in 2020-21 (17:24). Miller ranks second among NHL rookies in average even strength ice time, and he also ranks sixth among NHL rookies in average ice time (18:07) this season.

PENGUINS vs. RANGERS: Pittsburgh’s All-Time Record vs. Rangers: 130-117-36 In Pittsburgh: 68-52-20 In New York: 62-65-16 OT Record vs. Rangers: 25-11-17 Shootout Record vs. Rangers: 7-4 2020-21 Results: Pittsburgh is 3-0-0.
TEAM NOTES:
COMEBACK KIDS The Penguins improved to 3-0-0 against the Rangers after Saturday night’s win, with all three wins coming after Pittsburgh trailed following the second period. The Penguins three wins this year when trailing after the second period are tied with Winnipeg for the most in the NHL:
Wins When Trailing After the Second Period Team Wins Pittsburgh 3 Winnipeg 3 Vegas 2 Minnesota 2 Nashville 1 Boston 1 All Other Teams 0
Pittsburgh is also 2-0-0 when tied after the second period. The Penguins five wins when either trailing or tied after the second period are most in the NHL.
CAPTAIN CLUTCH Captain Sidney Crosby came through in clutch yet again for the Penguins on Saturday, securing the team two points with his 18th career overtime goal. Crosby’s league-leading second overtime goal of the year doubled as his 18th career overtime tally, surpassing Ilya Kovalchuk for third place on the NHL’s all-time overtime goals list:
Player OTG Alex Ovechkin 24 Jaromir Jagr 19 Sidney Crosby 18 Ilya Kovalchuk 17 Two Players 16
The goal was also Crosby’s 35th overtime point, moving him into a tie with Jaromir Jagr for third place on the NHL’s all-time points list. Only Patrik Elias (37) and Alex Ovechkin (37) have more points in the extra frame than Crosby.
Per NHLPR, Saturday marked the first time in league history that three former first overall picks each scored an overtime goal in the same night (Crosby, Ovechkin, Connor McDavid).
THE P.O SHOW The bad news: Pittsburgh’s blueline has been decimated by injuries. The good news: Pierre-Olivier Joseph is the real deal.
After Kris Letang left the game in the first period on Saturday due to injury and with five blueliners already sidelined due to various injuries, rookie P.O Joseph stepped up in his fifth career game, recording three assists and skated a career-high 25:58 minutes. Joseph’s three assists tie a single-game franchise record for assists by a rookie defenseman, and he is one of just nine rookie blueliners in team history to record three or more points in a game.
Pittsburgh’s last three-plus point performance from a rookie defenseman was Alex Goligoski (2G-1A) on Dec. 22, 2008. Joseph is also one of just three NHL rookies this season to have a three-point game, joining Chicago’s Pius Suter (Jan. 24, 3G) and Minnesota’s Kirill Kaprizov (Jan. 14, 1G-2A).
NEXT MAN UP On Saturday against New York, Kris Letang left the game due to a lower-body injury. If Letang is unable to suit up tonight, Pittsburgh will be without six defensemen due to various injuries, four of whom were in the Penguins’ top-6 on opening night. Below is a look at the total number of games played by the Penguins injured defensemen, versus the potential six that could suit up tonight:
Injured Defensemen Player GP Career GP w/PIT Kris Letang 817 817 Brian Dumoulin 354 354 Mike Matheson 301 2 Marcus Pettersson 179 130 Zach Trotman 91 24 Juuso Riikola 75 75 Total: 1,817 1,402
Healthy Defensemen Player GP Career GP w/PIT Cody Ceci 502 6 Yannick Weber 498 1 Chad Ruhwedel 178 145 John Marino 65 65 Kevin Czuczman 14 1 P.O Jospeh 5 5 Total: 1,262 223
Despite the constant shuffling, Pittsburgh currently sits fourth in the division with 11 points, having picked up at least one point in six of nine games this season (5-3-1).
INTERIM GM, PATRIK ALLVIN On Jan. 27, it was announced that Patrik Allvin would assume the role of interim general manager of the Penguins following Jim Rutherford’s resignation. The 46-year old native of Falun, Sweden is in his 15th season with the Penguins hockey operations staff, having started as a scout in 2006- 07. He also served as director of amateur scouting from 2017-20. Allvin is the first Swedish-born general manager in NHL history.
Allvin picked up his first win as interim GM on Jan. 30, a 5-4 overtime win at Madison Square Garden against the Rangers.
