Prediction
It may be bold, but I think the New York Rangers will steal one of the first two games in Pittsburgh, and win all of their home games.
The team has experienced defensive issues, but I expect the forwards to backcheck with a greater sense of urgency which will go a long way towards aiding this issue.
Mats Zuccarello and Derick Brassard will be tough for the Pens to handle, and Henrik Lundqvist will be The King.
