KEY GAME INFORMATION
NY RANGERS: LAST SEASON: 53-22-7, 113 points. Won Presidents' Trophy, Metropolitan Division. Lost to Tampa Bay Lightning in Eastern Conference finals.
COACH: Alain Vigneault, 14 NHL seasons, 520-341-35-74.
ADDED: RW Emerson Etem, G Antti Raanta, LW Viktor Stalberg, C Jarret Stoll, D Raphael Diaz, C Brian Gibbons, C Jayson Megna, C Matt Linblad, C Luke Adam.
LOST: LW Carl Hagelin, G Cam Talbot, RW Martin St. Louis, D Matt Hunwick, C Chris Mueller, C James Sheppard.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Chris Kreider. The 24-year-old left wing is coming off a career-high, 21-goal season and the Rangers' hierarchy believes he is capable of becoming one of the NHL's elite players. He has size, speed and the toughness to take a major step this season and join Rich Nash as a major contributor on offense.
OUTLOOK: The Rangers have been close the past two seasons and many wonder whether they missed their chance to win their first Stanley Cup since 1994. Jeff Gorton replaced Glen Sather as the general manager in the offseason and didn't make any major moves, other than keeping young core players Derek Stepan, J.T. Miller and Jesper Fast. If goalkeeper Henrik Lundqvist has another 30-win season, Nash (42 goals) is among the league leaders and a veteran defense delivers led by Ryan McDonagh stays healthy, New York will get one more shot at a title.
PITTSBURGH: LAST SEASON: 43-27-12, 98 points. Finished fourth in Metropolitan Division. Lost to New York Rangers in Eastern Conference semifinals.
COACH: Mike Johnston (second season).
ADDED: F Phil Kessel, F Eric Fehr, F Matt Cullen, F Sergei Plotnikov, D Adam Clendening.
LOST: D Paul Martin, D Christian Ehrhoff, F Brandon Sutter, F Blake Comeau, F Steve Downie, F Nick Spaling, G Thomas Greiss.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Phil Kessel. The Penguins brought in the three-time All Star from the Maple Leafs to give franchise cornerstones Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin some much-needed support. The 28-year-old is hoping a fresh start away from the crucible in Toronto will help him put up the kind of numbers he only occasionally flirted with during his six seasons in Canada.
OUTLOOK: Injuries and an offense that struggled to score goals - a stunning development for a team with two of the game's biggest stars - led to Pittsburgh's quiet five-game loss to the Rangers in the first round last spring. General manager Jim Rutherford provided needed depth by adding Eric Fehr, Matt Cullen and young Russian Sergei Plotnikov to give the bottom six some punch. If Kessel can develop chemistry with either Malkin or Crosby and the defense led by Kris Letang keeps the crease in front of goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury clear, the Penguins will be in the postseason for a 10th straight year. Another quick exit, however, could lead to widespread changes.
PREVIEW
Rangers-Penguins Preview
By SCOTT GARBARINI STATS Writer

The New York Rangers are winning without their captain and most established scorer, mainly because their most important player has been in top form.

Henrik Lundqvist's recent accomplishments still pale in comparison to those of Sidney Crosby, who'll attempt to extend his career-best goal streak to eight games and help the Pittsburgh Penguins stop the Rangers' surge Wednesday night.

Both clubs have endured ups and downs since last facing off in the 2015 Eastern Conference quarterfinals, when Lundqvist yielded one goal in all four wins as the Rangers took the series in five. The standout goaltender has been just as good of late, allowing five goals as New York (30-18-5) has won three straight for its longest streak since a nine-game run Oct. 25-Nov. 15.

Lundqvist carried a shutout into the final minutes and recorded 27 saves in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over New Jersey as the Rangers overcame the absences of Ryan McDonagh and Rick Nash. McDonagh is out indefinitely with a concussion sustained from a punch from Philadelphia's Wayne Simmonds on Saturday, while Nash is expected to miss a seventh straight game with a leg bruise.

"We are all rallying around everyone here, trying to put a few wins together," defenseman Dan Girardi said. "It feels good.''

Lundqvist's next challenge figures to be the toughest, as Pittsburgh (27-18-7) has scored a league-high 29 goals since Jan. 20 while winning six of seven to climb back into playoff position.

The Penguins have won two straight minus Evgeni Malkin, out again Wednesday with a lower-body injury. Crosby has more than made up for that loss during a six-game tear in which he's amassed 10 goals and six assists.

Crosby broke his previous career high of six straight with a goal by scoring twice and notching two assists as the Penguins halted Anaheim's six-game win streak with Tuesday's 6-2 rout. The star center's 18 goals and 31 points in 19 games since Dec. 26 are the most in the NHL.

''His game is at another level right now,'' coach Mike Sullivan said. ''He's a big reason we continue to gain traction in the standings.''

Among the others contributing during Pittsburgh's scoring binge are Kris Letang, who has eight goals and 24 points over a 15-game stretch, and Chris Kunitz with seven points in four games since returning from a lower-body injury.

The Penguins haven't generated much offense lately against Lundqvist, who posted a 1.60 goals-against average in nine 2014-15 matchups including the playoffs. New York went 3-0-1 against Pittsburgh during the 2014-15 regular season.

J.T. Miller has helped offset Nash's loss by recording eight goals in eight games, including the game-winner in the third period against New Jersey.

''Guys are playing really well and scoring big goals at the right time, and as a group, I feel like we are doing a lot of good things," said Lundqvist, who has won eight of his last 11 starts with a 1.88 GAA.

The Rangers have made up for abysmal special-teams play with a plus-30 goal differential at even strength, second to Washington for the league's best mark. They're near the bottom in penalty killing and have received little production from a power play that's 2 for 49 over the last 17 games and 0 for 14 in the past four.

Pittsburgh's power play has converted 33.3 percent of its chances during a six-game home winning streak and is third in the NHL at 25.3 percent since Sullivan replaced Mike Johnston on Dec. 12.
