The New York Rangers had a huge opportunity to take back control of this series tonight, but fell 7-4 to the Pittsburgh Penguins in regulation. The Rangers made a pretty impressive comeback after falling behind 4-1 with a monumental second period. Despite the Rangers making the comeback, they didn’t have that great of a third period and allowed Pittsburgh back into the game.
1st Period
Everything that could have went wrong for the Rangers, went wrong in this period. Right from the opening faceoff, the Penguins established control in the offensive zone and New York really didn’t have much of an answer.
