The Pittsburgh Penguins travel to the "Big Apple" tonight to take on the New York Rangers. This game will complete the season series between the two teams which the Rangers lead 4-3 and will also complete the home and home series between the two clubs. Pittsburgh took the first game of the home and home series yesterday with a 3-1 victory on home ice. The win for the Penguins eliminated the Rangers from reaching Atlantic Division title. The last division title for the Penguins came back in 1993. The Penguins' division at the time was called the "Patrick Division" which consisted of these teams: Washington Capitals, NY Rangers, NY Islanders, NJ Devils, Philadelphia Flyers, and the Pittsburgh Penguins. A win tonight could guarantee the Penguins their first Atlantic Division title. Hopefully Marc-Andre Fleury gets the start in goal tonight for the Penguins, nothing against Ty Conklin who has been outstanding this season, but Fleury is playing his best hockey of his career and seems to be comfortable in net. I would also like to see Ryan Whitney playing defense again, but I have been impressed with his attitude and willingness to adjust to the left wing. Key Players: Pit: Marian Hossa NYR: Scott Gomez
