The New York Rangers and the Pittsburgh Penguins are all set for their matchup at PPG Paints Arena on Wednesday.

Last season, the Rangers demonstrated a potent offensive attack, ranking seventh in the league with 278 goals scored. Their defensive prowess was equally impressive, as they allowed only 226 goals, placing them seventh-fewest in the NHL.

The Penguins, on the other hand, boasted a balanced approach, scoring 253 goals while surrendering 248. The matchup between these two storied franchises promises to be a thrilling spectacle. The Rangers' Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejad, along with the Penguins' Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, are all poised to make significant contributions to their respective teams' offensive efforts.

While the Penguins' defensive unit outperformed the Rangers in the previous season, the Rangers' offensive firepower could prove to be a decisive factor in this contest.
