Pittsburgh ranked 12th in goal differential, sixth in expected goals rate, and eighth in high-danger scoring chance rate at 5-on-5 in 2021-22. The Rangers finished 20th, 21st, and 21st in those same categories.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But New York\u2019s pedestrian 5-on-5 numbers weren\u2019t an issue, at least not in the standings. Thanks to incredible goaltending and terrific special teams, the Rangers were able to not only compete for a playoff spot but also challenge for a division title.<\/p>\n<p>Igor Shesterkin\u2019s all-world performance through the first 50-plus games of the season also bought the Rangers plenty of time to make defensive adjustments. Getting results is priority number one, but relying on your goaltender to bail you out every game is not a sustainable route to success. New York did improve down the stretch, thanks in large part to the depth the team added at the trade deadline.<\/p>\n<p>But for some reason those improvements made over the last 20 games of the regular season have not translated into the postseason for the Rangers.<\/p>\n<p>Despite playing almost the entire series without their top two goaltenders, their No. 2 defenseman, and their No. 2 left-wing, the Penguins have swarmed the Rangers at 5-on-5. Perhaps nothing portrays the disparity at 5-on-5 better than the following stat: Pittsburgh has created 103 high-danger scoring chances so far in this series, while the Rangers have generated just 51.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/penguins-e1652623037523.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Penguins Rangers game 7 odds prediction\" class=\"wp-image-22276785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/penguins-e1652623037523.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/penguins-e1652623037523.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/penguins-e1652623037523.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>The Rangers and Penguins play Game 7 on Sunday.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Despite all the adversity they\u2019ve faced, there\u2019s\u00a0no arguing that the Penguins have been the better team in this series, but the cutting room floor of the Stanley Cup Playoffs is littered with \u201cbetter teams.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, here we are with New York sitting as a -145 favorite for Game 7 after coming back from a 3-1 series deficit. That the Rangers have survived to a Game 7 is a testament to their resilience and a reminder that hockey is a cruel sport, driven by which team catches the breaks.<\/p>\n<p>While Rangers fans may still be smarting over an overturned goal in Game 1, they\u2019ve benefited from plenty of good fortune in this series.<\/p>\n<p>Not only has Pittsburgh played almost the entire series with their No. 3 goaltender Louis Domingue in the blue paint, but the Penguins have played the last game and a half without Sidney Crosby and have been missing Brian Dumoulin and Rickard Rakell since Game 1.\u00a0Crosby\u2019s absence since the middle of Game 5 has been especially profound since he was the best player in the series by a country mile.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, this series has been completely off the rails and all of Pittsburgh\u2019s injuries make it a tough game to handicap. However, it does seem that there\u2019s a decent chance we see Crosby, Rakell, and Jarry in the lineup on Sunday night. <\/p>\n<p>Even with the lineup uncertainty, it\u2019s hard to look away from the price on Pittsburgh in this game. The Penguins\u2019 advantage at 5-on-5 has been drastic and with Shesterkin clearly fighting to find his game, the Rangers\u2019 biggest advantage in this series looks to be muted. There\u2019s always a chance that Shesterkin snaps back into his world-beating form, but that\u2019s a risk you\u2019re always taking with goalies of his caliber.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Penguins vs. Rangers: Pittsburgh Penguins +115 or better<\/strong> (+120 on BetRivers Sportsbook)\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
