The New York Rangers are set to begin their Stanley Cup pursuit against the Pittsburgh Penguins. While the core remains largely unchanged, the addition of players like Reilly Smith and the return of Filip Chytil aim to enhance the team's scoring depth.

Zac Jones is expected to contribute as a puck mover on defense, complemented by Victor Mancini’s steady play. However, lineup changes are anticipated as the season progresses, with the ultimate goal of securing the Cup.
