WATCH Penguins vs. Rangers Live Stream Online, NHL 2014: Listen To Free Monday Night Hockey Coverage From New York City, Power Rankings

It's finally that time of year - hockey season!

The Pittsburgh Penguins battle it out on the ice against the New York Rangers in Week 9 of the regular season on Monday, December 8 at 7:00 p.m. EST at New York City's legendary Madison Square Garden. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Monday night hockey game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Following the first few opening weeks of the 2014 regular season, the Penguins snag the impressive No. 7 spot in Dave Lozo's official NHL power ranking for Bleacher Report with an 18-6-2 record:

"Once again, the Penguins are dealing with a slew of injuries to their forwards. But they have won three of four despite playing all or some of those games without Pascal Dupuis, Patric Hornqvist, Chris Kunitz and Beau Bennett... The Penguins are sitting near the top of the East and, even with these injuries (Kris Letang is also out), are still one of the conference's toughest teams. As long as Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin are in the lineup, the Penguins will be fine... How have the Penguins fared since Pascal Dupuis announced he'd be out for six months because of blood clots? They are just 5-4-1 with 20 goals."

Meanwhile, the Rangers currently hold the No. 19 spot (out of 30 total teams) with an 11-10-4 record. According to Lozo:

"The Rangers are finally healthy after spending a lot of time without Derek Stepan, Dan Boyle and Ryan McDonagh. Still, their inconsistency plagues them. The Rangers are 4-8-3 against teams in playoff position right now and 7-2-2 against everyone else."

The game will be broadcasted live on local channels MSG and ROOT, but fans can also listen in on the radio at 105.9 The X, WNIO, KTUI-FM, and ESPN NY.
