KEY GAME INFORMATION

NY RANGERS: LAST SEASON: 45-31-6, 96 points. Finished 2nd in Metropolitan Division, 5th in Eastern Conference. Lost to Los Angeles Kings in Stanley Cup finals.
COACH: Alain Vigneault, 2nd season with Rangers (45-31-6); 13th overall in NHL (467-319-102).
ADDED: D Dan Boyle, D Mike Kostka, D Matt Hunwick, C Chris Mueller, LW Tanner Glass, G Cedrick Desjardins, C Matthew Lombardi, RW Lee Stempniak, LW Ryan Malone.
LOST: C Brad Richards, RW Derek Dorsett, C Brian Boyle, D Anton Stralman, LW Benoit Pouliot, D Justin Falk, RW Arron Asham, LW Daniel Carcillo, D Raphael Diaz, C Darroll Powe.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Rick Nash. The top forward will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing postseason in which the 2002 No. 1 draft notched only three goals and 10 points in 25 games and heard boos from the crowd. The 30-year-old left wing has come to training camp looking thinner and fitter as he heads into his third season with the Rangers. Nash has four seasons left for big money on his current contract, so there is plenty of time for him to win over the Madison Square Garden faithful.
OUTLOOK: The Rangers will go as far as goalie Henrik Lundqvist, ''The King,'' will take them. The team has undergone major changes since the run to the finals, but with the strong core of returning veterans such as Nash, Martin St. Louis, and defensemen Dan Girardi and Ryan McDonagh, fortified by newcomers Dan Boyle, Lee Stempniak and Ryan Malone, New York could again be a tough out in the playoffs. A new captain is expected to be announced at the start of the season to replace the trio of alternate captains that took leadership roles after former captain Ryan Callahan was traded to Tampa Bay late last season for St. Louis.

PITTSBURGH: LAST SEASON: 51-24-7, 109 points. Won Metropolitan Division. Lost to New York Rangers in Eastern Conference semifinals.
COACH: Mike Johnston (first season, first NHL season).
ADDED: D Christian Ehrhoff, F Patric Hornqvist, C Nick Spaling, F Blake Comeau, G Thomas Greiss.
LOST: F James Neal, D Brooks Orpik, D Matt Niskanen.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Sidney Crosby. Sid ''the Kid'' isn't so young anymore. It's been nearly a decade since he arrived in Pittsburgh and helped rescue a floundering franchise. He rolled to his second MVP Award in 2013-14 after racking 36 goals and 68 assists for a league-leading 146 points. A wrist injury slowed him in the postseason. He scored just once in 13 playoff games.
OUTLOOK: New coach, new general manager but same old expectations in Pittsburgh. It's been more than five years since they lifted the Stanley Cup, a drought that cost former coach Dan Bylsma his job. Johnston brings in a more structured philosophy. There may be growing pains early, but if Crosby and Evgeni Malkin are healthy, the Penguins will again be a threat to make a deep playoff run.

*Rangers-Penguins Preview* ==========================

By BRETT HUSTON STATS Senior Editor

Ny Rangers At Pittsburgh, Game Three, 7:00 p.m. EDT

There's been a Stanley Cup or Bust motto around the Pittsburgh Penguins' organization for years, but only one of those options seemed to be realistic as they began what figured to be a brief playoff run earlier this week.

It's far too early to call them a contender, but suddenly the Penguins look like more than a team destined to be the New York Rangers' first-round footnote.

After coming away with a split at Madison Square Garden, Pittsburgh returns to its home ice Monday night trying to go a game up on the NHL's best regular-season team.

The expectations have been through the roof for the Penguins since their back-to-back trips to the Stanley Cup Final in 2008 and 2009, but their last five postseason visits have only resulted in four series victories.

This one figured to be a short stay as well after Pittsburgh stumbled down the stretch of the regular season, but since a rocky first period at MSG on Wednesday it's played fairly well. The Penguins held the Rangers off the scoreboard in the final two periods in Game 1, then got two goals from Sidney Crosby and scored twice more on the power play in Saturday's 4-3 victory.

"It's nice to get rewarded," said Crosby, who had scored just once in his previous 19 postseason games. "Sometimes in the playoffs you play well and you don't always get the result you want. I thought we continued from the end of last game. I thought we were more aggressive at the end of last game and improved that (Saturday)."

In many ways, Pittsburgh has been too aggressive. The Penguins have taken 12 penalties in the first two games resulting in the Rangers having 22:15 of power-play time.

"Absolutely too many penalties," defenseman Ian Cole said Saturday after Pittsburgh went to the box seven times. "I mean, I took two of them. Without a doubt too many penalties, but a heck of a job getting it done."

The series now shifts to Consol Energy Center, where the Penguins still weren't sure as of Sunday if they'd extend a 375-game sellout streak that dates to February 2007.

The Rangers have a way of making any visiting venue seem less intimidating. New York's 28-11-2 road record was by far the NHL's best, and that includes 15 wins in its last 18 away from MSG.

"It's important in the playoffs to make sure you can play in a home building and in a road building," center Derek Stepan said. "We have to make sure we get ourselves refocused and get ourselves ready for Game 3."

Though the Penguins spent plenty of time on the kill, they held the Rangers to 12 even-strength shots and blocked 20 attempts after keeping just 11 attempts from the net in Game 1.

New York kept Pittsburgh to the fringes in the opener and blocked 22 shots but only got in the way of seven Saturday.

"I think we have to look at ourselves first and we have to get the job done," Rick Nash, who scored his first playoff goal in eight games, told the league's official website. "If we aren't getting the job done (at even strength), we have to get a huge momentum off the power play and the individuals that are on that (power play) have to be a lot better.

"It didn't seem like we were getting enough looks (Saturday), enough shots there in the shot lanes."

Nash hasn't had too many problems producing against the Penguins. He's had a hand in nine of the Rangers' 21 goals in this season's series, scoring five times.

Coach Mike Johnston said Sunday that Crosby was fine after a blindside hit by Carl Hagelin in Game 2. Evgeni Malkin, who has gone seven straight games without a point and 12 without a goal, pronounced himself at 85 percent but wouldn't admit to what was bothering him.
