The first weekend matchday in the NHL regular season will take place next Saturday, with one of the most anticipated matchups being the one between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the New York Rangers at PPG Paints Arena. It’s worth noting that the match will be the second time these teams have faced each other in less than a week, so there aren’t expected significant changes in their strategies in such a short period of time.
Despite this, playing this game in Pittsburgh is expected to be highly motivating for the Penguins after the strong momentum they built during the preseason. This explains why they’re currently leading the Metropolitan Division with a 2-0-0 record, victories in which Justin Brazeau has been the most productive player with 7 shots on goal and 3 goals scored.
Meanwhile, the New York Rangers had a clear duality in their first two games of the regular season, because even though there were some dominant periods for them, the majority were very unproductive in terms of offense. Despite that, Alexis Lafreniere has managed to remain the most valuable player for the Rangers, as he took 11 shots on goal in the first two games of the regular season.

Our New York Rangers vs Pittsburgh Penguins Prediction
For this game, neither team is expected to show a real increase in their offensive productivity, so players like Alexis Lafreniere and Sydney Crosby could feel the pressure over their shoulders as they’ve been marking the difference for the attacks of their respective teams.
Additionally, the 0-3 loss that the NY Rangers suffered during Opening Night against the Penguins certainly provided them with a strong lesson on how to avoid committing reckless errors in the decisive moments of a game. Therefore, the pick for the Pittsburgh Penguins – New York Rangers is: Both Teams To Score At Least 2 Goals - No!
