NHL Playoffs: What channel is Penguins vs. Rangers Game 3 on?

What channel can fans view the pivotal Game 3 between the Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers on?

The Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers, after splitting the first two games of the first round series in Pittsburgh, take their series northeast to Madison Square Garden in New York City. After Pittsburgh won Game 1 in a blowout, New York returned the favor in Game 2. Both teams will seek to gain the upper hand in a pivotal Game 3 on Tuesday night at 7:00 PM EST.

Expected to be in goal for the Rangers is Henrik Lundqvist. Lundqvist recovered from a potentially horrible eye injury in Game 1 after being hit in the eye by his own teammate, returning in Game 2 to help lead his team to victory. Expected to be in goal for the Penguins is Jeff Zatkoff, who had a rough game in Game 2. However, both of Pittsburgh’s regular season goaltenders, Marc Andre-Fleury and Matt Murray, have been practicing with the team recently, so either could start as well.

Pittsburgh will need strong efforts from their forwards after a weak effort in Game 2. Phil Kessel provided the only two goals that Pittsburgh scored during that game. They will need Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby to be their best players, because if both of them are rolling, the Pens can be next to impossible to beat. New York will need to fix their defensive breakdowns as they try not to rely on Lundqvist so much.

The game can be viewed on USA Network. Puck drop is expected around 7:00 PM EST.
