The Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers will meet at Madison Square Garden for the second time in three days Wednesday, with the Penguins looking to bounce back after a 5-2 drubbing in Pittsburgh on Monday.The Penguins took a 2-0 lead in the first period but succumbed to the leagues best offense, as the Rangers scored four straight goals against goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury and a fifth into an empty net. Its unlikely that Fleury will be in net Wednesday, as Matt Murray is clearly the better goaltender this season.The transition has been an issue for Fleury, who has a .907 save percentage.Definitely different than what Ive been used to, Fleury said to TribLive.com. Its a little bit of a different mindset going into games. Its the way it is. Ive got to find ways to be ready, to be sharp and help my team win games.The Penguins have lost three of four and havent been sharp of late, no matter who has been in net. Only two teams have allowed more shots per game this season than the Penguins, who are giving up an average of 33.4 through 19 games. Despite playing at a 107-point pace, the Penguins are a minus-1 in goal differential.They started well against the Rangers, who enter Wednesday with a four-point lead on Pittsburgh in the Metropolitan Division, but were pummeled over the final 40 minutes.We know a lot about this team, Rangers left winger J.T. Miller said of Pittsburgh. Weve played them so much over the last handful of years. We were just on our heels a little too much to start. We were a little too passive, and we were more aggressive after that. When we did that, we kind of forced them into more turnovers and got a couple more lucky bounces. We did a really good job of defending after that as well.The Rangers scored at least five goals in a game for the 10th time this season, by far the highest mark in the league. What made it particularly impressive was it came less than 24 hours after losing top center Mika Zibanejad to a broken fibula that will sideline him for the next six to eight weeks.Despite playing at less than 100 percent and on no rest, the Rangers saved their best for the final 40 minutes.Were trying to play a fast-paced game and were also trying to check quickly, Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said to the New York Daily News. I believe we saw that in the second and the third. It wouldve been easy for us on back-to-back nights to maybe not put out the way we were expected to, but not this group.Familiarity breeds contempt and there should be no shortage of it Wednesday. The Penguins and Rangers have met in the postseason the past three years, so even though this is the regular season, back-to-back contests between these teams is nothing new for anyone involved.Youre looking at those games as good challenges, good matchups and obviously they mean a lot because its within the division, center Sidney Crosby told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. You really expect to be at your best for those games, and you want to make sure youre playing the right way. Whether we lost or won (Monday), I think you go in with the same mindset here, maybe even a little more desperate, hopefully. Saucony Scontate Online .

The Leafs finished 30th out of 30 teams in the NHL standings in 2015-16, missing the playoffs for the 10th time in 11 tries. But Babcock warned that things would get worse before they got better when he left the Red Wings -- where he won the Stanley Cup in 2008 -- for hockeys highest-profile job in 2015. Long-suffering fans have bought into Babcocks plans: Coaching jumped 20 spots, to No. 18, despite the dismal first-year results. There is cautious optimism in Canadas biggest city these days as the rebuild continues. It grew further when Toronto won the draft lottery and took American center Auston Matthews with the top overall pick. Fellow blue-chippers William Nylander and Morgan Reilly are already on board, and Torontos goaltending should be better thanks to the acquisition of former Ducks backstop FFrederick Andersen.ddddddddddddhats badDespite the optimism, not all is rosy in Toronto. Its no coincidence that the Leafs are our lowest-ranked NHL team for the ninth consecutive season. They have the worst fan relations in the league (113th overall). Their average ticket price ($113.66) is an astounding 25 bucks more than the next-most expensive in the NHL and almost double the league average. That makes the laughable Leafs the least affordable team to support in North America. Not surprisingly, those who pay through the nose for an inferior product (mainly corporate types, resulting in unoccupied seats and a lifeless atmosphere at Air Canada Center) also get the worst bang for their buck in hockey.Whats newLook, its always going to cost top dollar to attend a Leafs game. Hockey rules Toronto, regardless of the standings. But real change is happening. Shanahan, Lamoriello and Babcock own three of the sharpest minds in the sport, and they have been afforded the time and Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainments vast resources in the hopes of snaring, eventually, the clubs first Cup since 1967. Leafs Nation can feel it: Title track jumped 20 spots this year. Even long-hated MLSE is winning hearts and minds, with ownership up 22 spots.Full rankings ' ' '
