Rangers vs Penguins Game 2: Rangers Respond And Even Series 1-1

After dropping Game 1 in heartbreaking fashion, the New York Rangers responded in a big way this evening with a 5-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Rangers held a 3-2 lead heading into the third period before a pair of goals by Artemiy Panarin and Frank Vatrano gave New York some much needed insurance. Igor Shesterkin was solid once again for the Rangers, and kept his team alive with Pittsburgh pressuring early in the game.

The Rangers’ starts have never been an issue thus far in the playoffs, and another quick start gave them a 1-0 lead just 6:50 into the opening period.
