It may get a bit lost amid the baseball playoffs and the overshadowing NFL, but the NHL season is under way. The league opened the year with a double-header in Europe. In Prague, the Rangers beat Tampa Bay 2-1 on a late goal from Brandon Dubinsky, the Daily News reports. In Stockholm, the Penguins edged Ottawa 4-3 thanks to an overtime tally from Tyler Kennedy, notes the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Both the Rangers and Penguins figure to be in the hunt all season.  (More New York Rangers stories.)
