The Penguins and the Rangers look to start the second half of the season on a good note as they face off against each other at Madison Square Garden. The biggest news of the night is that the Rangers will have Brandon Dubinsky back in the lineup after missing the last five games with a fractured leg.

With Dubinsky in the lineup, the Rangers have back their leading scorer and point-getter. Dubinsky has 17 goals and 38 points, which are close to career highs for the fourth-year center. This gives the Rangers some relief on the injury front, something that they were struggling with heading into the all-star break.
The Penguins will still be without Sidney Crosby who has been out since the beginning of the month, and Evgeni Malkin, who has missed the last three games with a sinus infection. One bright spot may be the return of Eric Godard to the lineup.
Henrik Lundqvist and Marc Andre Fleury are expected to be the starting goaltenders when the puck drops at 7:30 pm. The game can be seen on Versus in the United States and TSN2 in Canada.
