Hanging on to a 8-7-1 record, the Rangers are right in the playoff mix and have been playing much better offensively than last year. Thus, Marian Gaborik and the New York Rangers will try to get a road win when they meet the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday at midnight GMT.

Considering that the Penguins won the Stanley Cup in 2009, the franchise from Pennsylvania was looking forward to competing for another championship in this year's NHL campaign. Yet, Pittsburgh's performance in the first six weeks of regular season action has been fairly unexciting as the team around Sydney Crosby won just eight out of seventeen games. One of the problems that will have to be addressed as the season goes on is the Penguins' mediocre effort at the defensive end of the ice. That said, Pittsburgh is still an excellent overall team and should be able to secure a win versus Marian Gaborik and company on Tuesday night.

Without any doubts, Rangers fans are eagerly awaiting the start of the 2009-10 season to see what their completely overhauled roster will be capable of. Unfortunately, their opponent in the first game this autumn will be the defending champions from Pennsylvania. Thus, the Rangers will travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Penguins at Mellon Arena on Friday at 0:30 a.m. GMT.

After clinching their first Stanley Cup since the era of Mario Lemieux and Kevin Stevens, the Pittsburg Penguins had a mellow off-season without having to make any significant moves. Most importantly, the franchise around Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin signed a few new role players to one-year contracts as well as re-signing Bill Guerin and Alex Goligoski. However, the Penguins also lost their veteran right-wing Petr Sykora who signed a one-year deal in Minnesota. It is also worth noting that veteran defenders Rob Scuderi and Hal Gill will not be with the team in 2009-10 either.Unlike the Penguins, the New York Rangers decided to blow-up large parts of their roster and take a different approach this year. In fact, there will be no less than 19 new faces plus seven rookies in New York while 12 former Rangers’ players either had to walk or were traded. There is very little doubt that the most important acquisition was the signing of Marian Gaborik to a five-year deal worth $37.5 million. During his eight years in the league, the two-time All-Star from Slovakia scored 219 goals and dished out 218 assists for a total of 437 career points in 502 games. However, the franchise also lost the scoring of Scott Gomez and Nik Antropov which might turn the signing of Marian Gaborik into a lateral move. Other notable pick-ups on the free agency market included veteran defender Donald Brashear, left wing Vaclav Prospal and right wing Ales Kotalik.Even though it is fairly difficult to accurately predict a team which underwent such major changes as the Rangers, the game could turn out to be much closer than it looks on paper. On one hand, the Penguins can be expected to continue running their dynamic offense featuring All-Star Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby. On the other hand, the Rangers’ are primarily known for their focus on defense which could allow them to stay in the game if they can shut down Crosby and Malkin. Likewise, the Penguins have not performed convincingly during the preseason where they dropped four straight games.
