Rangers, Penguins Clash Amidst Playoff Pressure

The New York Rangers are looking to bounce back after a heavy loss to the Buffalo Sabres as they prepare to face the Pittsburgh Penguins on February 23, 2025. Following an 8-2 defeat, the Rangers need a strong performance to remain competitive in the playoff race, with Jonathan Quick expected to start in goal after Igor Shesterkin's struggles. The game will be available for viewers on TNT and through DirecTV Stream. Meanwhile, the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament recently set single-game hockey betting records, particularly for Canada's overtime victory against the U.S., which attracted significant betting interest across sportsbooks. This surge in betting is indicative of the growing engagement with hockey among fans. As the Rangers and Penguins clash, attention will also be on managing defense and capitalizing on scoring opportunities to secure a vital win.
