Rangers at Penguins: What Bettors Need to Know

New York Rangers at Pittsburgh Penguins (-167, 5.5)

The New York Rangers hope to head into the Olympic break on a high note when they visit the Eastern Conference-leading Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday. New York had its season-high winning streak snapped at four games as it dropped a 2-1 decision to Edmonton on Thursday. Derick Brassard scored 22 seconds into the middle period to forge a tie, but Nail Yakupov tallied with 1:38 remaining in the third to hand the Rangers their third loss in five home games.

Pittsburgh is seeking its third consecutive victory and fifth in six games. The Penguins rolled to a 5-1 triumph at Buffalo on Wednesday as captain Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin each recorded a goal and an assist. Pittsburgh looks to complete the season series against New York with a third straight win after dropping the opener on Nov. 6.

ABOUT THE RANGERS (31-24-3): Henrik Lundqvist has been sensational since suffering a 5-2 loss at Pittsburgh on Jan. 3, going 9-2-1 while allowing fewer than three goals in 10 of those contests - including both regulation losses. Rick Nash has cooled down considerably following a stretch during which he seemed unstoppable. The 29-year-old has been kept off the scoresheet in each of his last four games after a five-game goal-scoring streak that saw him tally seven times and has not registered an assist since Dec. 31.

ABOUT THE PENGUINS (40-15-2): Wednesday's triumph over Buffalo was Pittsburgh 40th victory in just 57 games, marking the fastest it has reached the plateau in franchise history. Malkin has collected three goals and three assists during his four-game point streak but has just one assist in one meeting with the Rangers this season. Crosby's goal against the Sabres halted his five-game drought.

TRENDS:

* Rangers are 2-10 in the last 12 meetings.
* Over is 4-1 in the last five meetings.
* Rangers are 5-0 in their last five road games.
* Penguins are 17-5 in their last 22 vs. Metropolitan.

OVERTIME:

1. The Rangers totaled four goals in their two losses to Pittsburgh after posting a 5-1 victory in the series opener.

2. Crosby leads the league with 77 points - 12 more than New York Islanders captain John Tavares. With 49 assists, the superstar is one ahead of another captain in San Jose's Joe Thornton for tops in the NHL.

3. Brassard has collected three goals and four assists during his five-game point streak while New York LW Mats Zuccarello has registered two tallies and five assists on his five-game run.
