Chris Kreider’s power play goal, a tip-in of an Adam Fox shot, broke a 1-1 tie at 11:10 of the third period and the Rangers killed six Pittsburgh penalties, including one with 5:35 to go, to win for the second time in their last three games (2-0-1). Kevin Rooney and Artemi Panarin (into an empty net) scored the other goals, and Igor Shesterkin made 25 saves to earn his second straight win… The Rangers’ game in Newark, N.J. Saturday against the Devils has been postponed, as the Devils had four additional players added to their unavailable-due-to-Covid list. The Devils, who have 10 players on the list, have their schedule suspended through at least Saturday… Island Park native Anthony Bitetto was activated off the taxi squad and put into the lineup… Also entering the lineup was forward Julien Gauthier, who had sat out the previous five games.
