Welcome back to your 2nd dose of weekend gameday. The gameday that like the vaccine makes you violently ill the 2nd time around. (Note: get the vaccines so I can go back to dive bars)
The Pens did the good bit again yesterday with another comeback win, beating the flyers 4-3. Evan Rodrigues hit the post on an empty netter and screwed me out of $108. He is now on official notice.
With the 2 points yesterday the Pens are inching closer to a top 4 spot in the insider trading division. Tied with the flyers (who have two games in hand) and just 3 points back of Washington (who take on the flyers today).
Tonight the Rangers come into town to complete a full weekend for the Pens. They beat the Devils yesterday.

It was.

Hard to imagine the Pens change it up much from yesterday.

Rangers:
The rags are without one of the most dangerous players in the east, winger Artemi Panarin because he’s feuding with the russian government I think? I don’t know it’s real weird. Shesterkin might not play either.
Chris Kreider is killing it.
With the 2-0 goal;
Ryan Strome scored his 7th goal and 16th point in 22 GP
Chris Kreider has scored 16 pts in 22 GP
Kaapo Kakko has scored 4 pts in 15 GP#NYR

Miller – Smith
JACK JOHNSON – Hajek
Goalie
Probably Georgiev?
Great chance to keep some good vibes rolling and get within a breath of a playoff spot. Gotta take advantage of any games against the rags but especially when they’re shorthanded.
Go Pens
