Jordan and Marc battled it out last night in Pittsburgh in a key Eastern Conference matchup between the Rangers and the Penguins.

With the game tied at one in the third period, Jordan Staal gave the Penguins the lead when he scored his 15th goal of the season. Jordan now has seven points in his last eight games, including four goals.

Marc didn't want to be shown up though, so he tried to help bring the Rangers back. He picked up his second goal of the season when he ripped a wrist shot home to make the score 4-2. The Rangers couldn't find any more offense though, as Jordan and the Pens came away with the 6-2 win.

The win helped Pittsburgh jump back into a tie for the eighth and final playoff spot with 52 points, while the Rangers remain in fourth place in the conference.

Marc and the Rangers will next be on the ice on Saturday when the travel to Boston to take on the first place Bruins, while Jordan and the Pens will take on New Jersey on Friday night.
