COmF1BYcFuXG
Keith Jones, Dominic Moore, and Liam McHugh break down the latest NHL Power Rankings, where the Knights have taken over the top spot while the Isles make a strong case to move up.

NBCSN’s coverage of the 2020-21 NHL season continues with Tuesday’s matchup between the Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers. Penguins-Rangers stream coverage begins at 5 p.m. ET on NBCSN. You can watch the game online and on the NBC Sports app by clicking here.

New York closes out a two-game series with Pittsburgh. On Sunday, the Penguins snapped the Rangers’ three-game win streak. Trailing 1-0 late in the first period, John Marino, Kasperi Kapanen and Sidney Crosby all scored goals in a span of 61 seconds, leading Pittsburgh to a 5-1 rout of the Rangers during NBC Sports’ coverage of Hockey Day in America.

Entering Sunday’s contest, the Rangers had won three straight and six of their last eight contests. Things began on the right note when center Mika Zibanejad scored his first even-strength goal of the season on the game’s first shot (1:18 into play). After that, the Blueshirts allowed five unanswered goals, matching a season high for goals allowed in a game.

As play concluded on Feb. 17, the Penguins had a record of 7-6-1 through 14 games and sat two points outside the East Division’s final playoff spot. Since then, Pittsburgh has turned things around, winning seven of 10 games (7-3-0) and has put itself in contention for a division title.

Leading the Penguins during this stretch is Evgeni Malkin, who has a team-high 11 points (3G-8A) and currently has a four-game point streak (2G-4A). Malkin had a goal and an assist in Sunday’s 5-1 win over the Rangers.
