In particular, if you look at their numbers since the acquisition of Hal Gill, they have become even more solid in the back. Jordan Stall is one of the best two way centermen around right now. I think you’ll be surprised by what they do to the Rangers defensively and eventually to Montreal. During the Regular season, they did quite well against Montreal and the matchup favors the Pens. During the regular season the Pens won the series 2-1-1
