The Pittsburgh Penguins are currently five points away from securing a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference Wild Card race. This comes after a recent game where they managed to close the gap by defeating the Sharks, despite facing criticism from their own fans. The Penguins have an opportunity to further narrow this gap to four points in their upcoming game against the New York Rangers at 3 p.m. ET. This game is notable not only for its implications on the playoff race but also because it features a matchup between Sidney Crosby of the Penguins and Mika Zibanejad of the Rangers. The game is scheduled to be broadcasted on multiple platforms, including ABC, ESPNPlus, and Sportsnet ONE. Tristan Jarry has been confirmed as the goalie for the Penguins for this crucial encounter.
