The Rangers will begin the second half without leading scorer Brandon Dubinsky, Ruslan Fedotenko and Erik Christensen, but they will get one key offensive contributor back. Callahan returns after missing 19 games with a broken left hand suffered Dec. 15 at Pittsburgh while blocking a shot from Kris Letang. That game, which the Rangers won 4-1 despite trailing after 40 minutes, also featured an apparent slew foot on Callahan from Crosby that went unpenalized - an act Dubinsky called a dirty play. Girardi will also return after missing two games with a rib injury, and the Rangers will be glad to see the defenseman back. After winning shootouts at Atlanta and Washington, New York fell 4-3 to Florida at home Tuesday despite allowing only 17 shots - one in the third period.
Pittsburgh hasn’t won five straight at MSG since Dec. 31, 1989-March 17, 1991, but it should feel confident in its ability to find secondary scoring. Chris Conner and Mike Rupp, who have combined for 10 goals this season, have seven during the four-game streak at New York. Pittsburgh had four players voted into the NHL All-Star game, but Crosby and Malkin missed the midseason showcase. Those absences figure to be critical against the Rangers considering the duo has combined for four goals and six assists in the Penguins’ four consecutive victories at MSG, but Pittsburgh has discovered the way to win without them - don’t allow goals.
