Penguins @ Rangers Game Day Buzz: Vokoun vs Lundqvist

When: 7:08 p.m. | Where: Madison Square Garden

PIT Previous Game: Won @ Philadelphia, 3-1, on 1/19/13 | NYR Previous Game: Lost @ Boston, 3-1, on 1/19/13

In back to back situations, Penguins head coach Dan Bylsma will stick with his original plan of starting Tomas Vokoun tonight, while John Tortorella will stay with No. 1 netminder Henrik Lundqvist.

Vokoun has had great success against the Rangers, going 6-2-1 with a 1.64 goals-against average in his last nine starts against the Rangers.

Lundqvist had had his share of troubles against the Penguins of late, who are 7-2 against the Rangers in their last nine games at MSG. Lundqvist went 12-1-1 with a 1.67 GAA over his first 14 home matchups against Pittsburgh, but is just 2-4-2 with a 3.34 GAA in his last eight.

The Penguins will make one lineup change upfront, as Dustin Jeffrey who had poor puck management in Saturday’s game, will be a healthy scratch.

Kunitz – Crosby – Dupuis
