If you don’t think the New York Rangers will be extra motivated tonight when they host the Pittsburgh Penguins, you are sadly mistaken. The Rangers fell to the Penguins on Sunday in Pittsburgh, 3-2. They have now lost both meetings with the Pens this season but both games were in Pittsburgh and now the venue switches to MSG for tonight’s game and another meeting on Saturday. New York is 7-2 in their last 9 at home and have owned the Penguins at the Garden, winning 5 of the last 6 meetings. The home team usually wins between these two clubs and is the side to consider.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK RANGERS
