Pens back in action tonight against Rangers.

The Pens will take on the Rangers tonight at Mellon Arena in their first game back from the All-Star Break. The Pens know that this is crunch time and many have said that the playoffs pretty much start for the Pens now. The Pens are trying to get back into a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference and they know it will take a lot of hard work to get there. The Pens will need to play more consistently and create chances. Improving the special teams would not hurt to improve their chances either. Though this season has been decimated by injuries, there are no excuses and the Pens need to step it up now if they want to make it to the post-season.
